If I was fourteen, that’d make you thirty-nine |
On Greers Ferry Lake, there for the summer time |
You knew I had your car out driving on my own |
That six-foot digit sure did cut clear across the road |
Don’t you know? |
Well here we go |
You taught me how to drive before the age of 12 |
Why they dug that ditch there Lord I can never tell |
Weeds on the gravel road taller than a man |
When I hopped that six-foot ditch that car never stood a chance |
You understand? |
Well God damn |
I’m older now then you were then |
You raised us boys up to be good men |
I think about it now |
The car in the ditch and that long walk back to the house |
Driving the neighbor kids we’re all stuffed in the hatchback |
Matthew riding shotgun and not one got a scratch |
It was clear that car wasn’t going anywhere |
When you finally found us you didn’t even yell |
You could tell |
It wouldn’t help |
I’m older now than you were then |
You raised us boys up to be good men |
I think about it now |
The car in the ditch and a long walk back to the house |
Was a little more than a pig trail |
Was driving like a bat out of hell |
It sure was a doggone shame |
That car never was the same |
What doggone shame |
Oh Lord |
If I was fourteen, that’d make you thirty-nine |
Another night could save the day, could make it right |
Throttle open wide |
Now what a sight |
I’m older now than you were then |
You raised us boys up to be good men |
A father now and I know some way |
I got it coming back to me one day |
I think about it now |
The car in the ditch and that long walk back to the house |
