"The Dashboard" lyrics - CHRIS YOUNG

We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck
Just my brother and me
The night before he shipped out overseas
A leatherneck, Jarhead Marine

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
He said "the Radiator leaks
And the timing-belt is worn
But the Heart and Soul of this old beat up truck
Is The Dashboard."

[Chorus:]
"It's seen a lot of tan legs
Got a kick ass radio
Heard a lot of singing along with some country songs
And rock and roll
Got a.38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad
A lot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless photographs."
He said "If I don't come back
You can have this Ford
Just tape a picture of me, on the dashboard."

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
He said "The paint is peeling off
It's got dents in both the doors
If something happens to me
Don't hang a for-sale sign above the dashboard."

[Chorus:]
"It's seen a lot of tan legs
Got a kick ass radio
Heard alot of singing along with some country songs
And rock and roll
Got a.38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad
Alot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless photographs."
He said "If I don't come back
You can have this Ford
Just tape a picture of me, on the dashboard."

I Had the Engine overhauled
A paint-job and brand new chrome
I Had her washed and waxed, sittin' in the drive
The day that he came home

I said "Here's the keys
She's all yours
I fixed everything
