Lyric

I had a hand me down ride painted rattle can redSecond hand tires with poor boy treadMade a lot of almost love in the bed of that truckThat got stuck a lot
Just letter jacket boys singing Jerry Jeff songsDrinking everything we could get our hands onLearning ’bout right by doing it wrongHoping we didn’t get caught
And we spent what little bit of money we hadOn wintergreen Skoal and main street gasGo get your girl, go make the dragIf you’re lucky you can take her cross the rail road tracks
Where the man in the moon works his magicOn the second runner up of the 4H pageantSeems like yesterday, even thoughThat was fourteen hundred and fifty two beers ago
Skipped that town on my birthdayFor eighteen years I was headed that wayWhere old red stopped I just stayedIn a room without a view
I met a one look girl in a two bit barI had a place, she had a carI won her heart with my guitarI sang her the homesick blues ’bout
Spending what little bit of money we hadOn wintergreen Skoal and main street gasGo get your girl, go make the dragIf you’re lucky you can take her cross the railroad tracks
Where the man in the moon works his magicOn the second runner up of the 4H pageantIt seems like yesterday, even thoughThat was fifteen hundred and sixty two beers ago
Spending what little bit of money we hadOn wintergreen Skoal and main street gasAnd go get your girl and go make the dragIf you’re lucky you can take her cross the railroad tracks
Where the man in the moon works his magicOn the second runner up of the 4H pageantIt seems like yesterday, even thoughThat was sixteen hundred and fifty two beers
A whole lot of highway, a whole lot of yearSixteen hundred and fifty three beers ago
