Four-Legged Copilot

(Verse 1) Sunrise paints the dusty road, rooster crows a lonely tune Coffee steam curls outta my mug, beneath a harvest moon My boots hit the gravel driveway, mud on my faded jeans Rusty waits beside the truck, tail a-wagging, full of beans (Chorus) This old Ford's seen better days, paint chipped and chrome worn thin But it hauls hay and hound dogs too, been with me thick and thin Got a dent for every memory, a scratch for every mile This truck's my freedom, Rusty's my friend, together we run wild (Verse 2) Windshield filled with dusty plains, radio singin' Hank and Roy Rusty's head stuck out the window, ears flappin' like a toy We chase rabbits down backroads, fetch sticks by the river bend Just a man, his dog, his truck - a friendship that'll never end (Chorus) This old Ford's seen better days, paint chipped and chrome worn thin But it hauls hay and hound dogs too, been with me thick and thin Got a dent for every memory, a scratch for every mile This truck's my freedom, Rusty's my friend, together we run wild (Bridge) Some folks chase fancy cars and dreams, in houses made of stone But me, I got all I need right here, never felt more at home This truck's my heartbeat, Rusty's my soul, a bond that can't be broke Just a simple life, a loyal dog, and miles of open road (Chorus) This old Ford's seen better days, paint chipped and chrome worn thin But it hauls hay and hound dogs too, been with me thick and thin Got a dent for every memory, a scratch for every mile This truck's my freedom, Rusty's my friend, together we run wild (Outro) Yeah, this truck's my freedom, Rusty's my friend, together we run wild Truck dogs and backroads, that's the life for this country child
