《Drive (For Daddy Gene)》歌词

[00:00:00] Drive (For Daddy Gene) - Ameritz Tribute Standards

[00:00:08] It was painted red the stripe was white

[00:00:11] It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light

[00:00:16] Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta

[00:00:19] I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her

[00:00:24] We put on a shine; put on a motor

[00:00:27] Built out of love made for the water

[00:00:31] Ran her for years 'til the transom got rotten

[00:00:35] A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten

[00:00:38] It was just on old plywood boat

[00:00:42] With a '75 Johnson with electric choke

[00:00:47] A young boy two hands on the wheel

[00:00:50] I can't replace the way it made me feel

[00:00:54] And I would turn her sharp

[00:00:56] Make her whine

[00:00:57] He'd say "you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"

[00:01:02] Just a little lake across the Alabama line

[00:01:05] But I was king of the ocean

[00:01:08] When daddy let me drive

[00:01:18] Just an old half ton shortbed ford

[00:01:21] My uncle bought new in '64

[00:01:26] Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking

[00:01:29] A couple of burnt valves and he had it going

[00:01:33] He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load

[00:01:36] Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road

[00:01:40] I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals

[00:01:44] Smiling like a hero that just received his medal

[00:01:48] It was just an old hand-me-down Ford

[00:01:52] With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door

[00:01:56] A young boy two hands on the wheel

[00:02:00] I can¡¦t replace the way it mode me feel

[00:02:03] And I would press that clutch

[00:02:05] And I would keep it right

[00:02:07] And he'd say "a little slower son you're doing just fine"

[00:02:12] Just a dirt road with trash on each side

[00:02:15] But I was Mario Andretti

[00:02:18] When daddy let me drive

[00:02:37] I'm grown up now three daughters of my own

[00:02:40] I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home

[00:02:45] Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file

[00:02:48] And pull out that old memory

[00:02:50] And think of me and smile and say

[00:02:53] It was just an old worn out Jeep

[00:02:56] Rusty old floorboard hot on my feet

[00:03:00] A young girl two hands on the wheel

[00:03:04] I can't replace the way it made me feel

[00:03:07] And he'd say "turn it left and steer it right

[00:03:11] Straighten up girl you're doing just fine"

[00:03:16] Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride

[00:03:18] But I was high on a mountain

[00:03:22] When daddy let me drive

[00:03:26] When daddy let me drive

[00:03:30] Oh he let me drive

[00:03:41] She was just an old plywood boat

[00:03:44] With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
