If I Was A Truck

(Album: Concert For The Crickets - 2023)

There ain't no insurance for a broke heartstring
If your heart was a door, I guess I'm out that key
Good at walking lines, you know it ain't me
Tend to end up in a ditch with some dents and dings
And these thirty-threes and 101.3
Are too damn nostalgic not to ride and sing
Crew cab, concert, front row, one girl
Another bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
Ain't gotta have four wheels to feel like something's missing
But my guitar could fix it

I'd be better off if I was a truck
'Cause by now I'd done broke down, if someone'd fix me up
I'm running with a rod slung through my heart, tires bald, but I still ain't stuck
Yeah, I'd be better off if I was a truck

Always yelling at this, but still moving forward
Hard like a rock, rocking a bowtie more
Doging everything tryna run me off the road
Learned a lot about living, little more about love
I been a DUI, heart taking damage
Hit a mailbox, so I can't send a girl letters
Even if I did, know it won't get read
So I wrote a song about her in a maroon S10

Yeah, I'd be better off if I was a truck
'Cause by now I'd've done broke down, if someone'd fix me up
I'm running with a rod slung through my heart, tires bald, and I still ain't stuck
I'd be better off if I was a truck
I'd be better off if I was a truck
'Cause by now I'd done broke down, if someone'd fix me up
I'm running with a rod slung through my heart, tires bald, and I still ain't stuck
I'd be better off if I was a truck

If I was a truck
Mmm, if I was a truck
It'd be a Ford
