G                  D  
It was painted red the stripe was white  
        C  
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light  
G                 D  
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta  
  C  
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her  
G                  D  
We put on a shine; put on a motor  
C  
Built out of love, made for the water  
G                   D  
Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten  
  C  
A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten  
  
G                  D  
It was just on old plywood boat  
        C  
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke  
G               D  
A young boy two hands on the wheel  
  C  
I can't replace the way it made me feel  
             G  
And I would turn her sharp  
             D  
And I would make her whine  
           C  
He'd say, "you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"  
Em                            A  
Just a little lake across the Alabama line  
          C  
But I was king of the ocean  
D                 G    D C D  
When daddy let me drive  
  
G                    D  
Just an old half ton shortbed ford  
   C  
My uncle bought new in '64  
G                             D  
Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking  
  C  
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going  
G                             D  
He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load  
       C  
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road  
G                                     D  
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals  
C  
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal  
  
  
G                  D  
It was just an old hand-me-down Ford  
       C  
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door  
G               D  
A young boy two hands on the wheel  
  C  
I can't replace the way it mode me feel  
            G  
And I would press that clutch  
            D  
And I would keep it right  
               C  
And he'd say, "a little slower son you're doing just fine"  
 Em                     A  
Just a dirt rood with trash on each side  
          C  
But I was Mario Andretti  
D                 G      
When daddy let me drive  
  
  
Solo: all I have are the chords.  
  
D C D G D C D  
  
G                      	D  
I'm grown up now three daughters of my own  
  C  
I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home  
G                     D  
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file  
    C  
And pull out that old memory  
      
And think of me and smile and say  
  
G                  D  
It was just an old worn out Jeep  
C  
Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet  
  G              D  
A young girl two hands on the wheel  
C  
I can't replace the way it made me feel  
               G                D  
And he'd say, "turn it left and steer it right,  
C  
Straighten up girl, you're doing just fine"  
 Em                      A  
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride  
          C  
But I was high on a mountain  
D                 G  
When daddy let me drive  
D                 C  
When daddy let me drive  
             G  
Oh he let me drive  
D            C     D  
Daddy let me drive  
  
G                D  
It's just an old plywood boat  
        C  
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
