  • Got an '06 stick shift
    Dark blue F-150 in good condition
    Got a hundred and nineteen thousand miles
    Only five on the new transmission
    It's got leather seats, a sun roof
    It's sittin' on 33s, it runs smooth
    It'll get you from A to B, but not for me
    'Cause every time I turn that key, I see her

    Shotgun ridin' down a two lane road
    Just drivin' around with no place to go
    Us singin' along to "Where The Green Grass Grows"
    Hands out the window floatin' on the breeze
    She's fixin' her lips in the drop down mirror
    That pretty little thing made it hard to steer
    I'm never gonna get her outta there
    There's too many memories
    Now there's a "For Sale" sign in the window
    Yeah, 'cause if I'm gonna let her go
    I gotta let it go, yeah, it's gotta go
    So it's seventy-five hundred, OBO

    Back bumper's got a dent from her backin' in
    To a mailbox first time she drove it
    Couldn't even be mad with her lookin' like that
    Told her, "Hell, you can hardly even notice"
    It's got nights with her I can't forget
    Kissin' on the tailgate of the truck bed
    I wish I didn't have to get rid of it
    But every time I turn that key, I see her

    Shotgun ridin' down a two lane road
    Just drivin' around with no place to go
    Us singin' along to "Where The Green Grass Grows"
    Hands out the window floatin' on the breeze
    She's fixin' her lips in the drop down mirror
    That pretty little thing made it hard to steer
    I'm never gonna get her outta there
    There's too many memories
    Now there's a "For Sale" sign in the window
    Yeah, 'cause if I'm gonna let her go
    I gotta let it go, yeah, it's gotta go

  • Robin Baker from Greeley CoI'm confused. If he left years earlier in the video, then who is the woman there at the end of the video supposed to be?
