Lyrics
Buy a new pickup truck, careful who you let in
Keep out the dogs and kids, those messy friends
But if you keep the old truck, fit ya like an old shoe
You won’t waste your time, keep it looking brand new
New trucks are silver, old trucks are gold
New trucks look mighty slick, but I’ll keep the old
With my dog on the bench seat, I’m good to go
New trucks are silver, old trucks are gold
Old trucks have scrapes and dents from haulin’ lumber ‘n dirt
New trucks are shiny ‘n clean, you’re afraid to put ‘em to work
Old truck’s got rattles and creaks, personality
New trucks are okay I guess, but not for me
Chorus
Bridge
People see you drive an old truck, they naturally smile
Old truck’s like a long lost friend, they haven’t seen in awhile
Instrumental Verse
Old trucks have a radio, with just the AM band
Old trucks have a gear shift knob fits the palm of your hand
Old trucks got the old time feel, they’re built to last
Enjoy the ride, don’t worry ‘bout getting there fast
Chorus - repeat and end
