Jack Ingram - Beat Up Ford lyrics

Album: Lonesome Question (1995)

A young man drivin´ down a dusty road
Like he has got somewhere to go
Drivin´ like he has got a destination
Like he has somewhere to go in that beat up Ford

See there was a time when he was a young lost soul
He was chasin´ butterflies & rainbows
Til one day when he found his pot of gold
In the words of the young man he turned old

Chorus
And the old man said
You´ve got to have a good imagination
If your going to live the life of old
He said you got to drive that Ford like its a stallion
And you have got to wear your heart just like a gun
The old man said
The old man said

The boy walked out with a new found hero
The boy well he walked away a man
And he said to himself that dusty day way down in Texas
Well I am never going to walk this path again

Chorus
Cause the old man said
You´ve got to have a good imagination
If your going to live the life of old
He said you got to drive that Ford like its a stallion
And you have got to wear your heart just like a gun
The old man said
The old man said

The boy walked out he was dreaming of wild times
With old cowboys & broke down cattle lines
Now those fields´re all but gone
His hearts still free & he rides on

The Old man said
The Old man said
The Old man said
The Old man said
