Chris Young - The Dashboard lyrics

We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck
Just my brother and me
The night before he shipped out overseas
A leatherneck, Jarhead Marine

He said "the Radiator leaks
And the timing-belt is worn
But the Heart and Soul of
This old beat up truck is The Dashboard"

"It's seen a lot of tan legs
Got a kick ass radio
Heard a lot of singing along
With some country songs and rock and roll
Got a 38 bullet hole
Courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad
A lot of scotch tape marks
From holding timeless photographs"
He said "If I don't come back
You can have this Ford
Just tape a picture of me, on the dashboard"

He said "The paint is peeling off
It's got dents in both the doors
If something happens to me
Don't hang a for-sale sign
Above the dashboard"

"It's seen a lot of tan legs
Got a kick ass radio
Heard alot of singing along
With some country songs and rock and roll
Got a 38 bullet hole
Courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad
Alot of scotch tape marks
From holding timeless photographs"
He said "If I don't come back
You can have this Ford
Just tape a picture of me, on the dashboard"

I Had the Engine overhauled
A paint-job and brand new chrome
I Had her washed and waxed
Sittin' in the drive
The day that he came home

I said "Here's the keys she's all yours
I fixed everything but the dashboard
