Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She had faded red paint on her windshield
Said, "Zero dollars down, come make a deal"
Passed by it every day till I couldn't pass it up no more
Rocking three Goodyears and a Michelin
A tailgate hangin' on by a thread
With an old V8 knock-knockin' on heaven's door
[Verse 2]
Lord knows it wasn't perfect
But every hour I cut to earn, it was worth it
[Verse 3]
Hell, yeah, those were the good days
Driving by my own rules
Well, I crowned myself the king of the highway
Man, I never felt more cool, yeah, it's true
They say ain't nothin' like the first time (Hell no)
And it was love at first drive
Yeah, I owned that road in that rusty gold
Old truck I drove in high school
[Verse 4]
Always playing chicken with the 'Check Engine' light
Sent a twenty dollar bill to the emission guy
Got her shined up good for that game every Friday night
[Verse 5]
Lord knows it wasn't perfect (Not even close)
But I was happy it was workin' (Workin')
[Verse 6]
Hell, yeah, those were the good days
Driving by my own rules
Well, I crowned myself the king of the highway
Man, I never felt more cool, yeah, it's true
They say ain't nothin' like the first time (Hell no)
And it was love at first drive
Yeah, I owned that road in that rusty gold
Old truck I drove in high school, yeah
(That truck I drove)
[Verse 7]
I kinda wonder where she's at these days
I bet she runnin' like nothin's changed
Duct tape, zip ties, static on the radio
Calvin on the back, pissin' on 24
[Verse 8]
Hell, yeah, those were the good days
Driving by my own rules
Well, I crowned myself the king of the highway
Man, I never felt more cool, yeah, it's true
They say ain't nothin' like the first time
And it was love at first drive
Yeah, I owned that road in that rusty gold
Old truck I drove in high school
[Verse 9]
I kinda wonder where she's at these days
I kinda wonder where she's at these days
I kinda wonder where she's at these days
I kinda wonder, I kinda wonder
[Verse 10]
I kinda wonder where she's at these days
I kinda wonder where she's at these days
I kinda wonder where she's at these days
I kinda wonder, I kinda wonder
