Built out of love and made for the water

A piece of my childhood will never be forgoten

A couple of burnt valves and he had it going

He＇d let me drive her when we haul off a load

Down a dirt strip where we＇d dump trash off of Thickpen Road

I＇d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels
