There's an 86 Dodge

There's an 86 dodge parked in the driveway
It's old and rusted but she loves it anyway
She sits on the hood and drifts away

There's an 86 dodge parked on the lawn
It reminds her of a time with her father
They would lay out to watch the stars till dawn

There's an 86 dodge parked in her heart
To remind her again of the when she would lay
And her father would listen to her heartbeat

There's an 86 dodge, it's just an old truck
She sits on the hood and sings an old song
She lays under the stars, she feels stuck

There's an 86 dodge to remind her
How much she loves her father
To make her feel comfort

There's an 86 dodge she used to drive
When they would go muddin,
Just to enjoy life's ride

There's an 86 dodge
It's covered in rust and shiny silver paint
She doesn't care there's memories in there

There's an 86 dodge and the door doesn't work
The windows get stuck and the stereo's broke
There is no exhaust and the tailgate is forever down

There's an 86 dodge where she grew up
Her father beside her in the old pickup truck
She learned a lot in this old dodge

There's an 86 dodge and she learned how to fly
She didn't see how she grew so fast
She didn't notice how fast time went by

There's an 86 dodge she prays on each night
That old worn out dodge where she goes to cry
This old truck where she flees to to hide.

This 86 dodge she found comfort in
When her mom and dad wouldn't quit fighting
Where she found peace after they called it quits

This 86 dodge where she took out her anger
She screamed and she cried as she asked 'why'
She looked at the dodge and she saw hope

This 86 dodge is nowhere near gone
Sure it's rusted and the engine barely runs
This dodge will carry on in her heart forever

That 86 dodge is where memories were made
Where a man who only had water and love
Became more vital than blood
