Lyrics
Chorus:
Riding in Grandpa's truck - Riding in Grandpa's truck
With a little bit of gas and a little bit of luck
We made it there in Grandpa's truck
Grandpa's truck was a mean machine
It was big and green, and was hardly ever clean
But to all us kids, it was a limousine
When we rode around in Grandpa's truck
Grandpa's truck had a tricky old clutch
That would stop and go and sputter and such
But in spite of it all, we loved it much
When we rode around in Grandpa's truck (chorus)
Grandpa's truck used to rattle and shake
Every time he'd take a step on the brake
A little bit scary, but make no mistake
We sure loved Grandpa's truck
Grandpa's truck took us all over town
And the AC only worked when the windows rolled down
But when we took a ride, we couldn't wear a frown
Riding in Grandpa's truck (chorus)
Bridge:
It was a moving van that was always packed
Took us to the coast, and it brought us back
Through rain and sleet and ice and snow
There wasn't a place that it couldn't go (chorus)
Grandpa's truck had rust on the side
And the day it died we all sat around and cried
No matter what was said, it couldn't be denied
We sure loved Grandpa's truck (chorus)
