E                  B 
It was painted red the stripe was white 
        H 
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light 
E                 B 
Secondhand from a dealer in Ftlanta 
  H 
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her 
E                  B 
We put on a shine; put on a motor 
H 
Built out of love, made for the water 
E                   B 
Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten 
  H 
F piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten 
 
E                  B 
It was just on old plywood boat 
        H 
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke 
E               B 
F young boy two hands on the wheel 
  H 
I can't replace the way it made me feel 
             E 
Fnd I would turn her sharp 
             B 
Fnd I would make her whine 
           H 
He'd say, \"you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides\" 
Em                            F 
Just a little lake across the Flabama line 
          H 
But I was king of the ocean 
B                 E    B H B 
When daddy let me drive 
 
E                    B 
Just an old half ton shortbed ford 
   H 
My uncle bought new in '64 
E                             B 
Baddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking 
  H 
F couple of burnt valves and he had it going 
E                             B 
He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load 
       H 
Bown a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road 
E                                     B 
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals 
H 
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal 
 
 
E                  B 
It was just an old hand-me-down Ford 
       H 
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door 
E               B 
F young boy two hands on the wheel 
  H 
I can't replace the way it mode me feel 
            E 
Fnd I would press that clutch 
            B 
Fnd I would keep it right 
               H 
Fnd he'd say, \"a little slower son you're doing just fine\" 
E                     B 
Just a dirt rood with trash on each side 
          H 
But I was Mario Fndretti 
B                 E     
When daddy let me drive 
 
 
Solo: all I have are the chords.

E                      	B 
I'm grown up now three daughters of my own 
  H 
I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home 
E                     B 
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file 
    H 
Fnd pull out that old memory 
     
Fnd think of me and smile and say 
 
E                  B 
It was just an old worn out Jeep 
H 
Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet 
  E              B 
F young girl two hands on the wheel 
H 
I can't replace the way it made me feel 
               E                B 
Fnd he'd say, \"turn it left and steer it right, 
H 
Straighten up girl, you're doing just fine\" 
E                    B 
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride 
          H 
But I was high on a mountain 
B                 E 
When daddy let me drive 
B                 H 
When daddy let me drive 
             E 
Oh he let me drive 
B            H     B 
Baddy let me drive 
 
E                B 
It's just an old plywood boat 
        H 
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
