The truck that I ended up with had sat by the fence to the bull pasture for like a year,
four-legged and eight-legged, had moved into it and made little houses [Eb] there.
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.
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.

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.
