[00:01.501]Alan Jackson -Drive （For Daddy Gene）
[00:09.46]It was painted red the stripe was white
[00:12.486]It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
[00:16.738]Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
[00:20.44]I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
[00:24.344]We put on a shine;put on a motor
[00:27.739]Built out of love made for the water
[00:32.74]Ran her for years till the transom got rotten
[00:35.309]A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten
[00:40.292]It was just on old plywood boat
[00:43.71]With a ′75Johnson with electric choke
[00:47.405]A young boy two hands on the wheel
[00:51.144]I can ′t replace the way it made me feel
[00:54.287]And I would turn her sharp
[00:56.765]And I would make her whine
[00:58.285]He ′d say "you can ′t beat the way an old wood boat rides"
[01:02.630]Just a little lake across the Alabama line
[01:05.561]But I was king of the ocean
[01:08.995]When daddy let me drive
[01:18.110]Just an old half ton shortbed ford
[01:21.446]My uncle bought new in 64
[01:25.450]Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking
[01:29.592]A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
[01:33.434]He let me drive her when we ′d haul off a load
[01:36.597]Down a dirt strip where we ′d dump trash off of Thigpen Road
[01:40.539]I ′d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
[01:44.370]Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
[01:49.375]It was just an old handdown Ford
[01:52.66]With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
[01:56.409]A young boy two hands on the wheel
[02:00.47]I can ′t replace the way it made me feel
[02:03.287]And I would press that clutch
[02:04.736]And I would keep it right
[02:07.227]And he ′d say "a little slower son you ′re doing just fine"
[02:11.669]Just a dirt rood with trash on each side
[02:14.809]But I was Mario Andretti
[02:18.05]When daddy let me drive
[02:36.873]I ′m grown up now three daughters of my own
[02:40.161]I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
[02:44.559]Maybe one day they ′ll reach back in their file
[02:47.671]And pull out that old memory
[02:49.798]And think of me and smile and say
[02:52.634]It was just an old worn out Jeep
[02:55.472]Rusty old floorboard hot on my feet
[02:59.564]A young girl two hands on the wheel
[03:03.408]I can ′t replace the way it made me feel
[03:06.177]And he ′d say "turn it left and steer it right
[03:10.588]Straighten up girl you ′re doing just fine"
[03:14.841]Just a little valley by the river where we ′d ride
[03:18.129]But I was high on a mountain
[03:21.272]When daddy let me drive
[03:25.223]When daddy let me drive
[03:28.914]Oh he let me drive
[03:40.577]It ′s just an old plywood boat
[03:44.173]With a ′75Johnson with electric choke
