The Dashboard lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics The Dashboard lyrics We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck Just my brother and me The night before he shipped out overseas A leatherneck, jarhead Marine He said the radiator leaks And the timing belt is worn But the heart and soul of this old beat up truck Is the dashboard (chorus) It s seen a lot of tan legs Got a kick-ass radio Heard a lot of singing along to some country songs and rock and roll Got a .38 bullet hole courtesy of Kate Tillman s dad A lot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless photographs He said if I don t come back, you can have this Ford Just tape a picture of me on the dashboard He said the paint is peeling off It s got dents in both the doors If something happens to me don t hang a for sale sign above the dashboard (CHORUS) I had the engine overhauled A paint job and brand new chrome I had her washed and waxed sitting in the drive the day that he came home I said here s your keys, she s all yours I fixed everything but the dashboard song lyrics
