It was painted red the stripe was white
C
It was eighteen feet
from the bow to the stern light
G
D
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
C
I rode up with daddy
when he went there to get her
G
D
We put on a shine, put on a motor
C
Built out of love, made for the water
G
Ran her for years,
D
'til the transom got rotten
C
A piece of my childhood
that will never be forgotten
Chorus 1
G
D
It was just on old plywood boat
C
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
G
D
A young boy two hands on the wheel
C
I can't replace the way it made me feel
G
And I would turn her sharp
D
And I would make her whine
C
He'd say, "you can't beat
the way an old wood boat rides"
Em
A
Just a little lake across the Alabama line
C
But I was king of the ocean
D
When daddy let me

Verse 2
G
D
Just an old half ton shortbed ford
C
My uncle bought new in '64
G
Daddy got it right
D
'cause the engine was smoking
C
A couple of burnt valves
and he had it going
G
He'd let me drive her
D
when we'd haul off a load
C
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash
off of Thigpen Road
G
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my
D
feet out to the pedals
C
Smiling like a hero
that just received his medal
Chorus 2
G
D
It was just on old hand-me-down Ford
C
With a three-speed on the column
and a dent in the door
G
D
A young boy two hands on the wheel
C
I can't replace the way it made me feel
G
And I would press that clutch
D
And I would keep it right
C
And he'd say, "a little slower son
you're doing just fine"
Em
A
Just a dirt road with trash on each side

But I was Mario Andretti

Verse 3
G
I'm grown up now
D
three daughters of my own
C
I let them drive my old Jeep
across the pasture at our home
G
Maybe one day
D
they'll reach back in their file
C
And pull out that old memory
Chorus 3
And think of me and smile and say
G
D
It was just on old worn out Jeep
C
Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet
G
D
A young girl two hands on the wheel
C
I can't replace the way it made me feel
G
D
And he'd say, "turn it left and steer it right,

Straighten up girl, now you're doing just fine"

Just a little valley
A
by the river where we'd ride

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
