Jack Ingram – Beat up Ford

A young man drivin’ down a dusty road

Like he’s got somewhere to go

Driving like he’s got a destination

Like he’s got somewhere to go in that beat up ford

See there was a time when he was a young lost soul

He was chasin’ butterflies and rainbows

Until one day when he found his pot of gold

In the words of a young man who turned old

And the old man said

Chorus

You gotta have a good imagination

If your gonna live a life of hope

He said you’ve got to drive that Ford like its a stallion

And you’ve 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

Yea the boy well he walked away a man

And he said to himself that dusty day way down in Texas

Well I’m never gonna walk this path again

And the old man said

Chorus

You gotta have a good imagination

If your gonna live a life of hope

He said you’ve got to drive that Ford like its a stallion

And you’ve 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 and broke down cattle lines

Now those fields are all but gone

But his hearts still free and he rides on

The old man said, the old man said, the old man said, the old man said

A young man drivin’ down a dusty road

Like he’s got somewhere to go

Driving like he’s got a destination

Like he’s got somewhere to go in that beat up ford
