Lyrics
She's the apple of my eye decked out in red
I spent every dime I made just to keep her fed.
She purred just like a pussycat when we cruised the strip all night
When times were bad, she made me feel alright.
But it came down to either her or me
We parted in the parkin' lot of Smitty's Tasty Freeze
When she drove off with her new man
I couldn't watch 'em go
'Cause she's the sweetest thing I'll ever know...
Broke my heart
When I couldn't keep her
Why'd I let her go that way?
Lost my love
And I can't believe it;
Much to my dismay,
I couldn't make things work for us
And I never dreamed I'd say
That I broke down and sold my truck today.
Now every country boy's got his own ride
Without my faithful four by four, why I just die inside
But what I need the dealer just ain't sellin'
I want a truck with lots more miles per gallon...
Broke my heart
When I couldn't keep her
Why'd I let her go that way?
Lost my love
And I can't believe it;
Much to my dismay,
I couldn't make things work for us
And I never dreamed I'd say
That I broke down and sold my truck today.
Well I've had a revelation and I just can't let it pass
If I just give up eatin'... she can have her gas...
Broke my heart
When I couldn't keep her
Why'd I let her go that way?
Lost my love
And I can't believe it..
I've changed my mind today.
I've gotta make things work for us
Even if I have to pay.
I'm gonna buy my old truck back today... yeah
My 1990 Turbo... Chevrolet....
Shoot, I couldn't tote my old hound dog in some little foreign job anyway...
