I dropped by to talk to you
I missed ya dad, since I been running coast to coast
But I've had miles to think about the times we had
Riding with you when I was 6 years old
Remember how you taught me how to drive that old truck
I ran plumb through Ms peterson's lawn
Then we had to spend the rest of the day patching it up
You just gave me that smile and let me drive home
Now dad I can guess what you're thinking and yes I know,
I don't stop by nearly enough
But since you passed down your keys, I gotta stay on that road,
If I'm going to make a living in that old truck
Dad you used to tell momma, it's in your blood,
Well I'm proud to tell ya it's in mine to
Like father like son, I love that old truck
And I'm the man I am because of you
You always said you'd give up driving, the day you die,
Just like in that stone cold finger song
Now standing here next to you, I can't help but cry
I see the words to it chisled on your stone
Now dad I can guess what you're thinking, and yes I know
I don't stop by nearly enough
But since you passed down your keys I've gotta stay on the road
If I'm gonna make a living in that old truck
Well dad I gotta go now and I'll miss you so much,
Hey I'll keep driving your old truck
Yea I'll keep driving that old truck
