John Dartnell - My Beat Up Ford Lyrics

My first car was a beat up Ford an old rust bucket was all I could afford
But it got me some freedom some liberty got me out of this dump where I could be free
As the sun went down I'd kick up some dust feeling like a million in my heap of rust
I'd pick up my girl we'd drive into the night making memories in the pale moonlight

Take me back to nineteen rolling down the road with my teenage queen
Take me back to nineteen not a care in the world I'd got my reward
Just me and my baby cruising in my beat up Ford

That summer night when we drove out of town to get away where we could fool around
I remember your dress hitting the grass there was no turning back then it happened so fast

Take me back to nineteen rolling down the road with my teenage queen
Take me back to nineteen not a care in the world I'd got my reward
Just me and my baby cruising in my beat up Ford

That summer night well we had it all lying in each others arms everything was cool
I remember how I felt when I held you near and that longing in your eyes
And that solitary tear

Take me back to nineteen rolling down the road with my teenage queen
Take me back to nineteen not a care in the world I'd got my reward
Just me and my baby cruising in my beat up Ford
