I guess she’s not much to look at.
She’s not much to drive—
There’s a hole in the seat
On the passenger side.
The engine light stays on
Because it gets stuck—
But I really like driving
That little gray truck…
There’s a dent on the side
Where my son took the ditch
There’s a knob missing
From the radio switch
That radio skips and
The CD player sucks—
But I really like driving
That little gray truck…
The tailgate is missing
Replaced by a board.
There’s a chip in the windshield
And trash on the floor.
She skids on the ice
Like an old hockey puck—
But I really like driving
That little gray truck…
The driver’s door takes spells
When it doesn’t want to close.
The hood’s hard to open
When you must check a hose.
The engine sometimes runs
On wishes and luck—
But I really like driving
My little gray truck!
There’s more to this truck
Than you’ll ever know;
She might squeal on the curves
And slip on the snow
But she’ll take any back road
If you’ve got the pluck—
And if you’ll put your faith in
This little gray truck!
