Hey there girl
you know it's been awhile
since we road down back roads
just rackin' up the miles
you are so very beautiful
I love that turquoise blue
black and pink accentuate
your frame in subtle hues
the rubber we were layin'
really brings me there
remembering the miles
wind blowin' through my hair
I really miss the rides
that brought you to the end
if an unrewarding Journey
this wish to you I send
One that we could travel
behind that steering wheel
bringing lovely thoughts to me
in which you made me feel
that engine why it purred
and sounded badass loud
drivin' 'round with you
it always made us proud
Perhaps one might have guessed
you're really just my truck
I'm sorry that your engine died
For running out of luck
I can still remember
our favorite fishing trips
Way out in the woods
You always kept your grip
down some rugged roads
kept us safe from harm
I hear you got a new life
You didn't bite the farm!
So keep those people happy
and sing a tune for me
rembering the time
we raised ....
a family
I'll try not to be sad
and let this be farewell
they say you're just a thing
in this I must not dwell
If energy lives on
those memories never died
like you're beating engine
on which our lives relied.
