If It Wasn't For Trucks

Verse 1

I had my first kiss in the bed of a Chevy, summer of '09 Learned to drive on daddy's F-150 down a dirt road property line Moved my whole life twice in a Dodge Ram, dashboard full of dreams And the best conversations I've ever had happened between the seats

Pre-Chorus

Four wheels, two lanes, one life that's rollin' on Every memory I've made has had a tailgate to sit on

Chorus

If it wasn't for trucks, I don't know where I'd be No first dates, no heartbreaks, no drivin' to the sea No muddin' after midnight, no haulin' to be done If it wasn't for trucks, man, I'd be missin' half the fun

Verse 2

I proposed to my girl on the hood underneath the Milky Way She laughed and said only you would pick a parking lot to say The words that changed our lives forever in the shadow of a Ford I said this truck's been part of every good thing I've been for

Chorus

If it wasn't for trucks, I don't know where I'd be No first dates, no heartbreaks, no drivin' to the sea No muddin' after midnight, no haulin' to be done If it wasn't for trucks, man, I'd be missin' half the fun

Verse 3

Now my boy's gettin' close to that age where he's gonna want the keys And I'll hand 'em over nervous, say be careful, boy, now please But I know that truck'll give him what it gave to me and mine A freedom and a feelin' you can't get no other time

Bridge

It ain't about the make or model or the year It's about the life you live between the gears The miles, the smiles, the tears wiped on the dash If it wasn't for trucks, we wouldn't have half of that Thank God for trucks
