The Green Truck

[Verse 1]
Daddy drove an F-150 and it sparkled like green candy
And my heart would jump when I saw that truck pull up in the drive
I never knew how long he'd stay but I remember that one Saturday
When he took me and mama to the lake and we caught fireflies

[Chorus]
And I felt safe that night
With his green truck in the drive

[Verse 2]
And pretty soon he started staying away, second turned into seventh grade
Every time I saw that model and make I'd check behind the wheel
Then I fell into a pretty rough crowd, the kind that blows all your speakers out
Got into trouble, momma moved me out, the end of junior year

[Chorus]
But I still prayed at night
To see his green truck in the drive

[Verse 3]
The day before I turned 25, they called and said my daddy died
I gues she left me one last time and put that old Ford in my name
No I ain't gonna fix it up, I'm gonna keep it just the way it was
Even gonna leave that dashboard dust, but one thing's gonna change

[Chorus]
Someday down the line
When my babies look outside
As long as I'm alive
There'll be a green truck in the drive

[Outro]
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
