If That Truck Could Talk

Verse 1

There's a dent in the door from a Friday night

When I lost my cool and you said goodbye

A coffee stain on the passenger seat

From the morning you fell asleep next to me

A hundred thousand miles on that Chevrolet

A few more scars than I care to explain

Every scratch on the paint's got a story to tell

Some took me to heaven, some dragged me through hell

I still remember that summer in June

Bare feet hangin' out under the moon

You said forever, I said me too

Lord, if that truck only knew

Pre-Chorus

It knows every road that I took too fast

Every broken promise, every piece of my past

And if those headlights could shine on the truth

They'd point straight back to you

Chorus

If that truck could talk

It'd tell you 'bout the nights I lost it all

The tears on the dash, the fist through the wall

The times I swore I wouldn't fall

It'd tell you 'bout a girl with a wildflower smile

Who made every backroad worth another mile

And how I let the best damn thing I had

Slip right through my hands

Yeah, it'd tell you I ain't half as tough as I walk

If that old truck could talk

Verse 2

There's a little dirt road past the county line

Where we parked underneath that Georgia pine

Carved our names in the bark of a tree

Back when you were everything to me

Now there's a different girl ridin' shotgun

Still think about what we could've become

She asks why I never play that old song

I just turn it down and keep drivin' on

Pre-Chorus

There's a photograph tucked in the console

And a silver necklace that you left long ago

I tell myself I oughta throw 'em away

But I just can't bring myself to do it today

Chorus

If that truck could talk

It'd tell you 'bout the nights I lost it all

The tears on the dash, the fist through the wall

The times I swore I wouldn't fall

It'd tell you 'bout a girl with a wildflower smile

Who made every backroad worth another mile

And how I let the best damn thing I had

Slip right through my hands

Yeah, it'd tell you I ain't half as tough as I walk

If that old truck could talk

Bridge

It's seen me drunk on bein' young

Seen me think I was bulletproof

It's heard me say a thousand things

But never the ones I should've said to you

And if I could turn that key one more time

Take that old road back to July

I'd pull up in your driveway

And tell you what I couldn't say

Chorus

If that truck could talk

It'd tell you 'bout the nights I lost it all

How I drove a thousand miles to find

You were the only thing I left behind

It'd tell you 'bout a girl with a wildflower smile

Who made every backroad worth another mile

And how I'd trade every road I ever crossed

For one more chance at what I lost

Yeah, it'd tell you I ain't half as tough as I walk

If that old truck could talk

Outro

There's a dent in the door from a Friday night

And a memory that won't fade with time

Yeah

If that truck could talk

It'd tell you I still love you
