Ford Ranger

Well, I'm gonna buy an old Ford Ranger

With 200,000 miles

Gonna drive it down to the Norris Lake bridge

And park it there for a while

I'm gonna take a good, hard look at the water

And the gas pedal under my boots

Think I'll see if I sink or swim

And you'll all say I'm gone too soon

Never wanted to leave this town

Anymore than I do right now

Got about a thousand dollars in the bank

And my baby kicked me out of the house

I took a losing bet on love

And blew it all before the bills were due

Guess I'll pack my bags, turn the tires

And forget I ever knew you

Well, I'm gonna buy an old Ford Ranger

With 200,000 miles

Gonna drive it down to the Norris Lake bridge

And park it there for a while

I'm gonna take a good, hard look at the water

And the gas pedal under my boots

Think I'll see if I sink or swim

And you'll all say I'm gone too soon

You never knew I was a time bomb ticking

But I always keep the timer on

Give them ladies 'bout a month or so

Before they give me a reason to run

They say if you wanna get over a lover

You better get under someone new

But that current's gonna pull me down

Since every guy in town's havin' their way with you

Well, I'm gonna buy an old Ford Ranger

With 200,000 miles

Gonna drive it down to the Norris Lake bridge

And park it there for a while

I'm gonna take a good, hard look at the water

And the gas pedal under my boots

Think I'll see if I sink or swim

And you'll all say I'm gone too soon

See if this old truck sinks or swims

And I'll be seeing y'all in hell real soon
