The truck that I ended up with had sat by the fence to the bull pasture for like a year,
and all these critters, four-legged and eight-legged, had moved into it and made little houses [Eb] there.
And my old man said, boy, I'm going to sell you that truck.
And he did.
He charged me $200 for it, but he let me make payments of $20 a month, which just happened
to be what he was paying me to do ranch work.
So at some point, our relationship kind of shifted over into that indentured servant thing.
But anyway, I thought that that rite of passage needed a song, and no one had written it yet.
So I did.
Man, I hated that truck.
It let [Ab] me down so [Bb] many times.
I hated [Cm] that truck.
You hear [Ab] them wheel [Bb] bearings [F] whine, [Ab] and it seemed [Bb] to be followed by [Eb] a cloud [Ab] of [Bb] rotten luck.
[Db] [Dm] But man, I [Eb] hated that truck.
It knocked and pinged.
[Ab] The bolt in my [Bb] ears were sore.
I was [Cm] 16.
It [Ab] was all I [Bb] could afford.
[Ab] And the only [Bb] speedy thing it [Eb] ever did [Ab] [Bb] was burn up a clutch.
Man, I [Eb] hated that truck.
And it sucked gas like it [Ab] was going [Bb] out of style.
It [Cm] drank oil nearly [Ab] two quarts [Bb] to the mile.
And it [Ab] would [Bb] overheat and leave you [Eb] stranded, [Ab] feeling [Bb] like a schmuck.
Man, I [Eb] hated that truck.
[Ab] And old [Bb] Stepside Dodge [Eb] from 1963, [Bb]
[Ab] I swear [Bb] to God, [Eb] that old truck hated me.
[G] Other girls would all laugh [Cm] if I ever [Eb] dared to ask them for a [Ab] date.
And [Bb] that old crate, well, it kept [Eb] me broke.
By [Ab] end points, [Bb] plugs, and wires, it'd make [Cm] you choke.
Because it would [Ab] smoke like it [Bb] was on fire.
And it [Ab] would [Eb] burn through [Bb] them [Eb] recaps faster [Ab] than grease [Bb] through a duck.
[F] Man, I hated [Eb] that truck.
The [Ab] years [Bb] sputtered by [Eb] like a slapstick's motor.
[Ab] Computers [Bb] replaced [Eb] the old cap and rotor.
[G] But lately I've been thinking, [Cm] I sure would [Eb] like to drive that [Ab] truck again.
[Bb] Like an old friend, I [Eb] remember now.
Shifting [Ab] three [Bb] on the tree, I remember [Cm] how.
[Ab] It made me [Bb] feel free.
[Ab] And though I [Bb] couldn't count [Eb] on it at all, [Ab] at least [Bb] not too much, [Db] [Bb] I kind of miss [Eb] that truck.
[Ab] Points, [Bb] plugs, and wires, I miss [Eb] that truck.
[Ab] Nearly two quarts to [Bb] the mile, I miss [C] that truck.
[Eb] [N]
