Still Runs Like a Chevy

Verse 1

Sun comin’ up on a gravel drive

Coffee steaming in a chipped white mug

Radio hums an old George Jones

Same way it’s been since I was young

Daddy’s boots by the back door

Mama’s prayers on the fridge

Ain’t much changed around this place

And Lord, I kinda like it

Pre-Chorus

World keeps spinning faster every year

But some things don’t need fixing

Chorus

Life still runs like a Chevy

Little rusty but it gets me home

Love still feels like Friday night

When you’re holdin’ on tight, not lettin’ go

Time may bend, hearts may break

But faith and work still pay

Yeah the road’s been long and heavy

But life still runs like a Chevy

Verse 2

Friday lights on a high school field

Pickup trucks lined up two by two

Young love talkin’ big dreams

Like they always do

I’ve learned rich ain’t dollars and cents

It’s supper at a crowded table

Laughin’ loud, bowin’ heads

Thankful for what we’re able

Pre-Chorus

I’ve seen hard times come and go

But roots run deeper than trouble

Chorus

Life still runs like a Chevy

Little dented but it don’t complain

Starts right up when you need it most

Even after drivin’ through the rain

Hope still rides in the passenger seat

Right next to me every day

Yeah the paint’s worn thin and the years are heavy

But life still runs like a Chevy

Bridge

I don’t need brand new chrome

Just a back road and a song

If it gets me where I’m goin’

Man, I know I’m doin’ somethin’ right

Chorus (Final)

Life still runs like a Chevy

Four wheels and a stubborn heart

Built on faith, sweat, and love

From the very start

When the dust settles and the lights go down

I’ll still be proud to say

I ain’t had much, but I’ve had plenty

Yeah, life still runs like a Chevy

Outro

Turn the key… hear it hum

That’s the sound of gettin’ by
