If That Truck Could Talk

I still flinch when I see a Silverado

Fender flares on that Chevy

God I wish what we did

Never happened on that bench seat

But we were 16

And you were my dream

And I'd do anything

For a brunette boy

Who drank himself to sleep

Downing liquor til it's empty

If that truck could talk

It'd say we fought

Til our lungs turned blue

It'd say I'd disappear for awhile

Then come back to you

It'd tell everyone about your dad and all the bad things he'd do

And how you'll probably be just like him

When your age is old

And inside bruised

Hitch mark on my front bumper

You were too busy yelling

Backing down the driveway

On some sunny summer day

Cover it with a license plate

To forget that it happened

Outta sight outta mind

Til I see your truck pass by

But we were 16

And you were my dream

And I'd do anything

For a brunette boy

Who drank himself to sleep

Downing liquor til it's empty

If that truck could talk

It'd say we fought

Til our lungs turned blue

It'd say I'd disappear for awhile

Then come back to you

It'd tell everyone about your dad and all the bad things he'd do

And how you'll probably be just like him

When your age is old

And inside bruised

And I bet you'll think of me

Lookin at that empty passenger seat

Thinking you did no wrong, you were right all along

She'll write another song, but she's never really gone

But I loved him til the hate

You're totaled, just something that I'll replace

Without substance abuse, and drunk I miss yous

I know every excuse, it's time to let it loose

we were 16

And you were my dream

And I'd do anything
