Don't Give A Truck

(albüm: Might As Well Be Me - 2022)

If you don't want him feeling like the king of the high school every time he rolls up to it
If you don't want him loving southern rock and all that windows-down, pedal-down music
If you don't want your phone to ring late one Friday night
'Cause he's stuck in a field with the girl next door, mud up to the chrome step sides

Don't give a truck, don't give a truck
Don't give a truck to a small-town kid
'Cause he's gonna end up, gonna end up making don't-tell stories in the back of it
He'll drive to fast, burn some gas
If the last thing you want's him looking back saying
Thank God, I had 4-wheel drive and Friday nights like I did
Don't give a truck, don't give a truck
Don't give a truck to a small-town kid

If you don't want him putting 300 Spring Break miles on it down to Panama City
With three good buddies and some Ole Miss girls in the back of an F-250
He'll learn to talk to God
Sitting up in that cab
On some back road after some break-up
So, if you don't want that

Don't give a truck, don't give a truck
Don't give a truck to a small-town kid
'Cause he's gonna end up, gonna end up making don't-tell stories in the back of it
He'll drive to fast, burn some gas
If the last thing you want's him looking back saying
Thank God, I had 4-wheel drive and Friday nights like I did
Don't give a truck, don't give a truck
Don't give a truck to a small-town kid

So mommas and daddies, y'all trust me
That's the way it's gonna go
That's mine out back in the parking lot
If you wanna know how I know

Don't give a truck, don't give a truck
Don't give a truck to a small-town kid
'Cause he's gonna end up, gonna end up making don't-tell stories in the back of it
He'll drive to fast, burn some gas
If the last thing you want's him looking back saying
Thank God, I had 4-wheel drive and Friday nights like I did
Don't give a truck, don't give a truck
Don't give a truck to a small-town kid
