Ain’t A Truck
Finally gonna get to know you better
No friends around; like first time ever
Couldn’t wait to see those dreamy eyes
Then I saw you pull into the drive
I was hoping for an F150, any ½ ton, I ain’t picky
(Is that a Civic?)
Chorus:
You can jack it up
You can paint it red
Add big ol’ tires
With big ol treads
But that little ol’ thing won’t make it through the mud
Hang a gun rack
If you want
Throw empty beer cans
In the trunk
But, boy, you’re never gonna pick me up
Cuz that ain’t a truck
You got a smile that shines like a July sun
And, boy, I know we could have some fun
But there’s no bed for watching stars
In that shopping cart you call a car
We’d sure look good in a Silverado, but that tin can don’t even cast a shadow
(Oh my God, is that a Prius?)
Bridge:
When that tailgate comes down I need a gentle hand
A man don’t make the truck, the truck makes the man
(when you’re ready boy, come back and try again)
