My daddy threw me a set of keys and said Look outside and my heart skipped a beat When i saw what was sittin' in our front drive That old ford was as old as me It had, faded paint and some holes in the seats It didn't look like much but it was mine And as i climbed inside He told me, treat it like it's your last one And take your time coz it goes real fast son And don't you worry about breakin' down or gettin' lost Coz breakin' down's just a hard luck lesson And gettin' lost helps you find direction So hit the road and make the most of the gifts you've got And drive it till the wheels fall off That old car's seen a lotta things My first steady job that paid for the ring That i gave to my first love Now it's parked outside the church where i'm 'bout to make a vow to her My daddy pulled me aside and he said son I know it's your first and if you want this love to work You better treat it like it's?? Oh yeah breakin' downs just a hard lesson And getting lost helps you find direction So hit the road and make the most of the gifts you've got Just drive it till the wheels Just drive it till the wheels Just drive it Just drive it Till the wheels fall off
