Lyrics

I’ve been drivin’ so long down this dusty road
Just wonderin’ where the good times went
Now my tires are worn, my paint’s turned gray
And this old fender’s got some scratches and dents
But there’s a lot of good miles left on this chassis
And this engine still knows how to roar
So baby hop on board and let’s go for a ride
Till we can’t ride anymore

Before we’re gone like the Studebaker
Gone like the Nash
And that window crank on the door
Gone like the Packard and the Pontiac
And that high-beam switch on the floor
Before we’re gone like the Hudson and the Mercury
And that little window vent on the side
Before we're gone like the Plymouth and the Oldsmobile
Come on let’s go for a ride

I’m talkin’ ‘bout a classic old pick up
With just a little bit of rust on the side
There may be cracks in the leather and some dust on the dash
But you’ll still get a mighty good ride
Still got that nice tight rear suspension
And that big old bench front seat
I got the heat turned on and my tank is full
All I need is you to make it complete

Before we’re gone like the Studebaker
Gone like the Nash
And that window crank on the door
Gone like the Packard and the Pontiac
And that high-beam switch on the floor
Before we’re gone like the Hudson and the Mercury
And that little window vent on the side
Before we're gone like the Plymouth and the Oldsmobile
Come on let’s go for a ride


Now there's something so great about goin’ on a date
In a pickup with an old straight six
And something so good about liftin’ up the hood
And seeing something that you know how to fix

So let’s rock and roll…no need for cruise control
We’ll take it at our own speed
Rock to the rhythm of the engine, the whine of the gears
And we’ll roll to where the road may lead
No need to pack up a suitcase
We’ll leave our baggage behind
So if you’re ready to go, honey just let me know
Let’s not waste anymore more time

Before we’re gone like the Studebaker
Gone like the Nash
And that window crank on the door
Gone like the Packard and the Pontiac
And that high-beam switch on the floor
Before we’re gone like the Hudson and the Mercury
And that little window vent on the side
Before we're gone like the Plymouth and the Oldsmobile
Come on let’s go for a ride
Before we’re gone like the Hudson and the Mercury
And that little window vent on the side
Before we're gone like the Plymouth and the Oldsmobile
Come on let’s go for a ride
