IDIRIIVIE (IFOIR
DADDY GENE)

IN THE STYLE 0F

Alan Jackson
It was painted red
The stripe was white
It was 18 feet

from the bow to the stern line
Second hand from
a dealer in Atlanta
with electric choke
'Till the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood

lfll never be forgotten
It wasjust an old plywood boat
75 Johnson
When daddy let me drive
He'd say you can't beat the way
an old wood boat rides

Just a little lake
across the Alabama line
But I was king ofthe ocean
Just an old half ton
short bed Ford
My uncle bought it new in '64

Daddy got it right
cause the engine was smokin'
A couple of burned valves
Just a dirt road with
trash on each side
And I would press that clutch

And lwould keep in right
And he'd say a little
slower son your doin' just fine
Just a dirt road with
trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti

When daddy let me drive
And he'd say a little
slower son your doin' just fine
I'm grown up now
three daughters of my own
I let 'em drive my old Jeep

across the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they!
reach back in their file
0h he let me drive
Just a little valley
by the riverwhere we ride

But I was high on a mountain
when daddy let me drive
When daddy let me drive
She wasjust an
old plywood boat
A 75 Johnson

with electric choke
