Beat Up Ford Songtext
von Jack Ingram

A young man driving down a dusty road
Like he′s got somewhere to go
Driving like he's got a destination
Like he′s got somewhere to go in that beat up Ford
You see there was a time when he was a young lost soul
He was chasing butterflies and rainbows
Until one day when he found his pot of gold
In the words of a young man who turned old

The old man said you got to have a good imagination
If you're gonna live a life of old
He said you got to drive that Ford like it's a stallion
And you got to wear your heart just like a gun
The old man said, the old man said


The boy walked out with a new found hero
Yeah the boy, well he walked away a man
And he said to himself that dusty day way down in Texas
Well I′m never gonna walk this path again

The old man said you got to have a good imagination
If you′re gonna live a life of old
He said you got to drive that Ford like it's a stallion
And you got to wear your heart just like a gun
The old man said, the old man said

The boy walked out he was dreaming of wild times
When old cowboys broke down cattle lines
Now those fields are all but gone
But his heart′s still free and he rides on

The old man said, the old man said
The old man said, the old man said
The old man said
