Got A New Truck

(Marcia Ball/Tracy Nelson)
Gatorhythms / Rosehips Music (BMI)

I just spent the day in my brother's yard
Up to our elbows working on his car
We put all it together, took it all apar
Along about sunset we got the thing to start
He drove a few feet, then he had a flat
I'm glad it's not me has to worry bout that, cause

I got a new truck
(metal flake and pin stripe)
Got a new truck
(camper shell and bed lined)
Got a new truck
(sun roof, gun rack)
Got a new truck
(little window in the back) or cute window
Got a new truck
(crew cab extra door)
Got a new truck
(Hearst shifter on the floor)

I went over to see my mother-in-law (like Ernie K Doe)
She drove me half crazy, she gave me what for
Said move this here and put that there
Is that any way to wear your hair
Her son was too skinny, my clothes were all wrong
I took the abuse and we got along cause

I got a new truck
(and I'm driving away)
I got a new truck
(What did she say)
Got a new truck
(I can hardly hear her)
Got a new truck
(is that her in the mirror)
Got a new truck
When I want to roam
It'll take me there and it will bring me back home

Got a new truck
(camper shell and runnin lights)
Got a new truck
(bed lined and pin striped)
Got a new truck
(sun roof, gun rack)
Got a new truck
(little window in the back) or cute window
Got a new truck
(crew cab extra door)
Got a new truck
(Hearst shifter on the floor)
Got a new truck
(horns)
Got a new truck
(horns)
It's a fine pickup(horns)
Got a new truck(horns)
Cant believe my luck(horns)
I can do what I want to cause I got a new truck(horns)
