I Love My Truck
Glen Campbell · Other Songs - Glen Campbell
If you let life get to you
Cause everybody's saying something
None of it's true
Well, I just don't care
When them times get hard
Cause I got everything I need
Right out in my yard
[CHORUS]
I love my truck
She's right outside
I ain't got much love
But I sure got a ride
It don't matter who lived
It don't matter who lied
I got my truck right by my side
You got Sally and you got Sue
And I got a Chevrolet
She takes me home after work
Don't ever miss a day
She don't care what I am
She don't care what I ain't
But she ain't no cheap pickup
She just needs a couple coats of paint
[Repeat CHORUS]
Yeah
She don't care
If I don't work a lick
She'll start every time
If the choke don't stick
I know that she will
Never doubt me
Cause she never leaves home
Without me
[Repeat CHORUS]
I got my truck right by my side, yeah
I got my truck right by my side
I Love My Truck
