Drive For Daddy Gene
Alan Jackson
Key : B
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
B

[Verse 1]
---------------------
B                   F#
 It was painted red, the stripe was white
       E
It was 18 feet from the bow to stern light
B                  F#
 Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
  E
I rode up with Daddy when he went there to get her
B                  F#
 We put on a shine, put on a motor
E
Built out of love, and made for the water
B                            F#
 Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten
  E
A piece of my childhood will never be forgotten

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
      B            F#
It was just an old plywood boat
       E
With a '75 Johnson and electric choke
B                 F#
 A young boy, two hands on the wheel
E
 I can't replace the way it made me feel
           B
And I would turn her sharp
           F#
And I would make it whine
         E
He'd say, "You can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"
G#m                             C#
  Just a little lake across the Alabama line
          E
But I was king of the ocean
F#                B
 When Daddy let me drive
F# | E | F# 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
B                     F#
 Just an old half ton short bed Ford
   E
My Uncle bought new in '64
B                             F#
Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking
E
 A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
B                                F#
 He'd let me drive her when we'd haul off a load
       E
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
    B                                 F#
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
E
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
      B            F#
It was just an old hand me down Ford
     E
With three speed on the column and a dent in the door
B                 F#
 A young boy, two hands on the wheel
E
 I can't replace the way it made me feel and
       B
I would press that clutch
       F#
And I'd keep it right
        E
He'd say "A little slower son, you're doing just fine"
G#m                     C#
  Just a dirt road with trash on each side
          E
But I was Mario Andretti
F#                B
 When Daddy let me drive
F# | E | F# | B 
F# | E | F# 

[Bridge]
---------------------
B                        F#
 I'm grown up now, three daughters of my own
  E
I let them drive my old Jeep
Across the pasture at our home
B                      F#
 Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
    E
And pull out that old memory
And think of me and smile and say

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
B                   F#
 It was just an old worn out Jeep
     E
With rusty old floorboards, hot on my feet
B                  F#
 A young girl, two hands on the wheel
E
 I can't replace the way it made me feel
            B                  F#
And he'd say "Turn it left" and "Steer it right"
E
Straighten up girl now, you're doing just fine
G#m                           C#
  Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
          E
But I was high on a mountain
F#                B
 When Daddy let me drive
F#                 E
 When Daddy let me drive
F# | B | F# | E 
F#

[Outro]
---------------------
B                   F#
 It was just an old plywood boat
       E                             B
With a '75 Johnson and electric choke
