B B F# E

B                    F#                                      
It was painted red, the stripe was white
       E                     
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
B                   F#
Second hand from a dealer in Atlanta
  E                          
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get 'er
B               F#
Put on a shine put on a motor
E                     
Built out of love and made for the water
B                            F#
Ran her for years 'till the transom got rotten 
  E                             
A piece of my childhood that'll never be forgotten


      B               F#
It was just an old plywood boat 
       E                         
With a seventy-five johnson with electric choke
B                F#                               
 A young boy two hands on the wheel 
E                         
I can't replace the way it made me feel
           B                      F#                                  
And I would turn her sharp and I'd make it wide
                E                                 
And he'd say you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides  
Gm#                              C#                  
Just a little lake 'cross the Alabama line 
          E                 F#                 B
But I was king of the ocean when daddy let me drive

F# E F# 

B                     F#
Just an old half-ton short bed Ford
  E                  
My uncle bought new in sixty-four
B                             F#
Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smokin'
E                      
A couple of burnt valves and he had her goin'
B                               F#        
He'd let me drive her and we'd haul off a load
      E                               
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen road
    B                                F#  
I'd sit up in the seat and strech my feet out to the pedals
E                        
Smilin' like a hero that just recieved his medal


     B            F#
I was just an old hand-me-down Ford  
      E                               
With a three speed on the column and a dent in the door
B                F#
A young boy two hands on the wheel 
       E
I can't replace the way it made me feel
        B                        F#
I would press that clutch and I'd keep it right 
              E                       
And he'd say a little slower son you're doin' just fine
Gm#                   C#                         
Just a dirt road with trash on each side but 
     E                F#                 B
I was Mario Andretti When daddy let me drive

F# E F# B
F# E F#


B                   F#
I'm grown up now three daughters of my own 
   E
I let 'em drive my old jeep 'cross the pasture at our home
B                     F#
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file 
   E
And pull out that old mem'ry and think of me and smile

        B              F#
And say I was just an old worn out jeep
E
Rusty old floor boards hot on my feet
B                   F#
A young girl two hands on the wheel
E
I can't replace the way it made me feel
             B                F#
And he'd say turn it left and steer it right
E      
Straighten up girl now you're doin' just fine
Gm#                      C#                     
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
          E                   F#                B       
But I was high on a mountain when daddy let me drive...

F#            E      F#
   Daddy let me drive
         B           F#  E F#
oooh he let me drive

      B                F#
It was just an old plywood boat 
       E                                         B
With a seventy-five johnson with electric choke
