Truck

Well, I was just a kid

When it fell apart

A bullet left the gun

For a beating heart

And me and brother saw

Him hit the ground

Without a sound

And mama took us all

To the other side

And I started runnin’ bone

That I couldn’t hide

When the cop he came around

For another one

I was gone

But if I start to think about my life

It’s only 'cause it’s more than black and white

And if I fall down

Would you help me back up

Can I borrow your truck?

Well, I moved back home in ‘79

And I got myself a job in the grocer line

And I tried to see the girl

She’s a mother now

I should have known

But if I start to think about my life

It’s only 'cause it’s more than black and white

And if I fall down

Would you help me back up

Can I borrow your truck?

And now I live alone

At the edge of town

And I fix up the house

When she goes down

And the pastor comes along

He’s a friend of mine

I got time

But if I start to dream about my life

It’s only 'cause it’s more than black and white

And if I start to laugh again today

It’s only 'cause I cry my tears away

And if I fall down

Would you help me back up

Can I borrow that truck?

Can I borrow that truck?

Can I use your truck?

Can I borrow that truck?
