whoooaaaa mmmm yeaahh
Verse 1:
It was a cold spring morn', fog on the glass
Turned the key on my old Ford, but she let it pass
Cranked like a prayer, but the fire never came
Cussed the sky, kicked a tire, called her every name
Verse 2:
Had gas in the tank, had spark in my eyes
But the old girl just sat there, silent and wise
Thought it was the coil, thought maybe the plug
Even blamed that radio playin’ outlaw love
Chorus:
Crank no start, just like my heart
When you're stuck on the side of the road in the dark
Every man meets a moment where he just can’t win
But if you ain't movin', you might be learnin'
Yeah, she stalled that day, but she lit a spark
Crank no start—but she taught me plenty 'bout heart
Verse 3:
Neighbor came by with a crescent wrench grin
Said, “Boy, that sensor's shot—she ain't breathin' in”
Two bolts later, like a second wind sigh
She roared back to life 'neath that big ol’ sky
Bridge:
Ain’t it funny how machines break down
Right when your dreams are just leavin’ town
But that old Ford taught me more than books
Like grace in the grind and second-look hooks
Final Verse:
Now I'm 88, with silver in my beard
Tellin’ tales to my grandkids with ears wide and weird
They laugh when I say that truck saved my soul
But son, it’s the small things that make a man whole
Chorus (final):
Crank no start, just like my heart
When you're stuck on the side of the road in the dark
Every man meets a moment where he just can’t win
But if you ain't movin', you might be learnin'
Yeah, she stalled that day, but she lit a spark
Crank no start—but she taught me plenty 'bout heart
Outro:
Yeah, life’ll leave ya turnin’, wearin’ out your faith
But even dead ends can show you the way.
