Old Truck Waltz

Virgil Thill with Dad’s 1950 Chevy

An old truck will get you where you wanna go,

 The gears might grind and the ride might be slow.

A stove bolt six or a flathead eight,

 Are all you need when the road ain’t so great.

Though the fenders flap and the bed is rotten,

 They’ll take you back to a time forgotten.

Feedin’ the herd at twenty below,

 Pushin’ along through two-foot of snow.

Haulin’ a load of whatever you’ve got,

 Stakin’ out the best huntin’ spot.

It’s all that you need when you go to town,

 It’ll pull your Caddy when it breaks down.

Parked in front of the Oasis Bar,

 What the hell, who needs a car?

Everyone wants a rusty old truck,

 And If you have one you are in luck.
