When My Truck

08 When My Truck
(Jim Stanard)

You never liked it when you’d see me
with her on the street
Told me many times
you weren’t willing to compete

My hours with that Chevy
left me out of luck
You didn’t need me around
soon neither will my truck

When my truck learns how to drive
it’ll cruise at 55
Always stop when lights are red
plan for traffic up ahead

It will do the things I should have done
like knowing that you’re the one
When my truck learns how to drive
it’ll probably leave me too
It’ll probably leave me too

Gave me lots of warnings
I’m afraid I understand
You wanted conversation
not grimy boots and hands

I always thought that tomorrow’d be
the day I’d get you back
Is there a guy givin’ you
the romance that I lack?

When my truck learns how to drive
it’ll cruise at 55
Never passes on the right
checks for deer and elk at night

It’ll do the things I should have done
like knowing that you’re the one
When my truck learns how to drive
it’ll probably leave me too
to follow after you

That truck’ll be a genius
there’s nothing it won’t know
If it saw you packing up your bags
I’d beg you not to go




It’ll navigate to your place
buy flowers on the way
It’ll park outside your door and then
take you back to me to stay

When my truck learns how to drive
it’ll cruise at 55
Wash it’s windshield every morning
change lanes with proper warning

It’ll do the things I should have done
like knowing you’re the one
When my truck learns how to drive
it’ll probably leave me too
to follow after you

I’d send that truck to drivin’ school
if I could
but I’m afraid
you’re gone for good
