Lyrics

IF THIS OLD TRUCK COULD TALK

CHORUS if this old truck could talk
It would tell the story of your Dad and me
The hard times and the good times, and all the paths we walked
the story of a loving family
if this old truck could talk

The day daddy gave me his beat up old truck
It made me so proud I got all choked up
My work with Daddy was a labor of love
Cause love lived inside of that old beat up truck.
After our workday was done on the farm
Daddy and I headed straight to the barn
Where Mama brought a pitcher of her special lemonade
As me, the truck and Daddy worked the rest of the day

CHORUS REPEAT
bridge
Now my girl and I just got married today
And a precious baby is on the way
As my family drove away to begin our new life,
A note in the glove box caught my eye

We'd lost the farm and we'd lost Mama too
But the note said 'Son, I'll be watching over you
Take care of Daddy..give him my love
And trust your heart to that old beat up truck
CHORUS REPEAT
