That Old Ford

Stefanie Padgett

September 12, 2002

Coasting the strip in a rusted out Ford

Bed full of friends, four on the floor

Barely 18, their only speed was fast

They'd run it all night ‘til they ran out of gas

Lifting up the hood to get it started,

It was there Cadillac, never left them brokenhearted

CHORUS

Things might be different than the life they dreamed

Making love behind a glass fully steamed

That old ford took them anywhere they dared to go

Keg parties, peach fields, to the drive-in show

As long as it ran, they’d never be bored

It may not be much, but it was their old ford

Sittin in the backyard, wheels up on blocks

Under the old pine, bed full of flowers

He's working two jobs to put food on the table

With four kids to feed, he thanks God He's able

She don't fuss about an old truck by the fence

It helps her recall freedom she hasn't felt since

CHORUS

Things might be different than the life they dreamed

Making love behind a glass fully steamed

That old ford took them anywhere they dared to go

Keg parties, peach fields, to the drive-in show

As long as they had it, they’d never be bored

It may not be much, but it was their old ford

BRIDGE

It was so long ago, but still in my memory

I see our love in that old ford under the tree

Things might be different than the life we dreamed

Making love behind a glass fully steamed

That old ford took us anywhere we dared to go

Keg parties, peach fields, to the drive-in show

As long as we have it, we’ll never be bored

It may not be much, but it’s our old ford
