My granddad´s pride and joy was a ´49 Ford Much as he loved Grandma he lovedâ thatâ old truck more Iâ thought it was time that Iâ took it for a stroll
I had a big old pair for a boy just eight years old
Grindin´ second gear, driftin´ through the cows Rippin´ through the pasture when the brakes finally gave out He was screamin´ from the porch, I was crashin´ through the fence And he said, "What do you have to say for what you´ve done?" In my defense, I said it´s
Fun havin´ fun There´s only so many trips around the sun Of a gun, what´s done is done Hold it flat ´cause none of it lasts But it´s fun havin´ fun
My dad kept a can of gas behind our old barn I made sure I was careful when I poured it on the lawn The fire was beautiful ´til the wind started to blow That ember hit the hayloft and I watched that sucker go
It didn´t take long at all, there was forty foot flames I remember feelin´ grateful that the fire was now contained The firemen had a hose and my dad, he had a belt He said, "What do you have to say for what you´ve done?" I just felt that it´s
Fun havin´ fun
There´s only so many trips around the sun Of a gun, what´s done is done Hold it flat ´cause none of it lasts But it´s fun havin´ fun
Ten country boys doin´ ninety-five down an old dirt road Hotboxin´ the minivan, squintin´ through the smoke Blue lights came flashin´ and they hauled our asses in (Damn it, boy) I look up in the mugshot, but I´d do it all again
If you´re dumb (Yes, you´re dumb) You gotta be tough (Well, you´re tough) If you´re smart, you might miss the thrill of blowin´ things up
That´s enough of a life that´s boring And the worst decisions make good stories Grab your helmet and your cape Break a leg, duct tape her straight Chicks dig scars and get-well cakes
Fun to have some fun There´s only so many trips around the sun Of a gun, what´s done is done Hold it flat ´cause none of it lasts But it´s fun havin´ fun havin´ fun havin´ fun, ah-ooh (Woo-hoo)
