Alan Jackson - Daddy Let Me Drive
It's not really a sad song, more of a nostalgia trip. I would have thought that at 25, I was too young to succumb to nostalgia that way, but damn that songs gets to me. My father had a big old Chevy Silverado pick-up truck with the extended cab and a long box from the 70s. Sucker was big. We painted the whole truck in a rusty red colour, because it was easier than trying to paint the rust to match the truck. We used to go out to bring in fire wood in the summer, and a couple years before it was legal, my parents taught me to drive that big, old truck home loaded with wood on the gravel logging roads. We lived in a small town, and you hauled your own garbage to the dump, that was the other place my Dad'd let me drive. We had a boat, though I don't recall ever being taught to drive it, or even wanting to much, on the other hand, my Dad did teach me to drive one of these.
