Lyrics

IT WAS MY GRANDPAS FAVORITE PRIZE POSSESION
HE KEPT IT IN THE CORNER OF THE BARN
IT WAS A SHINY BLACK ONE HORSE LEATHER BUGGY
WAS THE ONLY THING LEFT FROM HID DADS FARM
THEY SAY GRANDPA'DE WAX UP HIS OL HANDLEBAR MUSTACHE
HED TAKE A BATH AND GET ALL DUDED UP
HED WASH OL RED AND THAT OL BUGGY DOWN
HED DROP THE TOP SWEEP AND WAX IT UP
HE RODE FROM YORKTOWN TO EIGHTMILE ON THE DIRT ROAD
HED COUNT CORN ROWS AND TALLY UP HIS GRAIN
HED STOP ALONG THE WAY TO COUNT AND MEASURE EARS
MUMBLE TO HIMSELF AND PRAY FOR RAIN

HED SAY NELLIE LETS GO FOR A BUGGY RIDE
WELL RIDE DOWN THROUGH THE AUGUST CORN
HED SHARE HIS DREAMS TO RAISE HIS FAMILY
ON THIS FORTY ACRE BLACK DIRT FAMILY FARM
OUT ON THIS FORTY ACRE BLACK DIRT FAMILY FARM

HE HELD HER AND HE LOOKED DEEP IN HER EYES
SAID HED GIVE HER ALL HE HAD AND NEVER LIE
WITH A FULL MOON OUT ACROSS THE RIVER BED
HE HUGGED AND HE KISSED HER MY OH MY
OL RED WOULD BRING EM BACK IN THE DARK
IN THE MOONLIGHT SHE PROMISED HIM HER HEART
THEN SHE PLAYED HER OL PIANO IN THE DARKNESS
AND HE STRECHED OUT ON THE PORCH AND COUNTED STARS
