[Verse 1] Bought her six months ago My eyes got too bad to see Man said she’s electric, would drive herself Said she’s just what I need [Verse 2] Topped out at eighty-five Out on I-Forty West Patted her on her big ol’ dash Told her she was the best [Verse 3] Backed into the barn lot In that ankle-deep mud Loaded her with a round bale of hay Dropped it in with a thud [Chorus] She said I put the blue in her color Turned her peaceful skies to grey Not to mention the stuff on my boots And drove off without me today [Verse 4] Well, I stood there in shock She didn’t make a sound Quietly moved around Ridge Road And then headed north out of town [Verse 5] I hope she finds peace I hope she finds peace And some white-collar work Somewhere the earth is flat And her new owner’s not a jerk [Bridge] I’ll miss those two big batteries And the boys down at the Co-Op Their jaws about hit the pavement When she backed up to the dock [Final Chorus] She said I put the blue in her color Turned her peaceful skies to grey Said something about the stuff on my boots And drove off without me today [Spoken Outro] She’s smarter than the average truck. Yup! There she goes without me! I’ve missed my ol’ diesel anyhow. That redneck perfume!
