{c:Refrain:}
I'm [D] sitting in the backyard, in my [F#m] old blue truck
the [G] floor's half-gone, and the [A] doors get stuck
it's [D] got no motor, it's [F#m] got no wheels
but I [G] like to remember, the [A] way it'd feel
when my [D] dad was alive, and he [F#m] drove us into town
in his [G] shiny new Ford, with the [A] windows down
we were [D] young and free, maybe [F#m] happier then
when I [G] sit in this truck it's like it [A] all comes back [D] again

[D] Sherry says it's time we got [F#m] rid of that heap
it's [G] just an eyesore we don't [A] need to keep
there's [D] snakes in the grass, [F#m] weeds in the wells
there's [G] birds making nests, it [A] just looks like hell
there's [D] mice in the seat springs and [F#m] under the hood
well, a [G] truck like that it [A] ain't much good
I said it [D] don't move an inch, but it's [F#m] logging miles
yeah, it [G] don't do much, but it [A] makes me smile

I said re-[D]member before the [F#m] kids were born
we'd [G] sit in that truck just to [A] watch the corn
the [D] moon'd come floating up [F#m] over the trees
there was [G] no one in the world, just [A] you and me
and you [D] held me close till I [F#m] thought I might cry
just to [G] see how the stars shone [A] in your eyes
I was [D] thinking when the kids're grown [F#m] up and gone
we might [G] do it again, [A] just sit here and watch the [D] dawn

[D] Sherry says I guess it won't [F#m] be a trial
we could [G] clean it up some, maybe [A] keep it awhile
[D] everybody's got some [F#m] crazy old load
we'll just [G] have a truck we can't [A] put on the road
