[Verse 1]
'74 [C]Ford truck,

I was sixteen, it was my turn.
Four [F]on the [C]floor an' I had learn,
[Eb]So m[C]y brot[F]her took me out to teach me
how to shift those [Cm]gears.[C][F][C]
With [E]a tear in his eye,
he [F]handed me the keys.
[E]Says: "Truck's got
quite [F]a history.
[E]"Over the years it's [F]been really
good to me."
[G]

[Verse 2]
"There's been a lotta [F]tail
on the tailgate,
"Bumpin' on the bumper,
[C]"Steam on the windows: ain't no wonder,
"There's [G]dents in the hoods,
an' [F]the shocks ain't good.
"Swingin' from the rollbars,
dancin' in the bed:
"I [C]seen a bunch of gorgeous
country corn- fed,

"There's been a lotta

Down a dirt road (Down a dirt road.)
To my Grandaddy's farm

An' drove, the [F]doors wide open
an' crank up [C]the stero.
It's [E]better than a club or [F]a honky- tonk,
