VERSE I
I GOT MY FIRST PICKUP TRUCK, WHEN I TURNED FIFTHTEEN/JUST A HAND ME DOWN CHEVY/ I MEAN A GMC
MY GRANDDAD BOUGHT IT BACK IN FIFTY THREE/WITH A THREE ON THE TREE
HE GAVE IT TO MY DAD, BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY/JUST AN OLD FARM TRUCK WE USED EVERYDAY
MY DADDY WAS SO PROUD HANDING ME THE KEYS-IT BROUGHT BACK A TEAR AND A MEMORY
CHORUS
MY FIRST DAY OF FREEDOM-WHEN I GOT BEHIND THE WHEEL AND-MY DADDY LET ME DRIVE
IT WAS SUCH A GOOD FEELING, TO HANG WITH MY OLD MAN AND-HAVE HIM BY MY SIDE
WE’D DRIVE AROUND TO NOWHERE, DRINK US A COLD BEER-SO MUCH FOR BIRDS AND
THE BEE’S-WERE MAKING A MEMORY-IN THIS GMC
VERSE II
ONE YEAR LATER I COULD DRIVE ON MY OWN/MY FIRST DATE/PICKING UP A GIRL I KNOW
SIXTEEN AND LOVING IT-KISS’S THAT NEVER QUIT/CAN’T KEEP MY EYES ON THE ROAD
SO I PULLED OVER SO WE COULD GET CLOSE/TURNED ON THE RADIO TO SOMETHING SLOW
KISSING AND HUGGING/THAT ONE LITTLE BUTTON/ IS WHEN SHE SAID IT WAS TIME TO GO
CHORUS
MY FIRST DAY OF FREEDOM-WHEN I GOT BEHIND THE WHEEL AND I GAVE MY GIRL A RIDE
IT WAS SUCH A GOOD FEELING, ONE HELL OF A WEEKEND WITH HER BY MY SIDE
WE’D DRIVE AROUND TO NOWHERE, DRINK US A COLD BEER-SO MUCH FOR BIRDS AND
THE BEE’S-WERE MAKING A MEMORY-IN THIS GMC- LEAD-Em,C,G,D TWICE INTO BRIDGE C, D ,

BRIDGE
IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH TO YOU ALL/BUT IT’S MY RUSTY TRUCK AND I DO RECALL
CHORUS
MY FIRST DAY OF FREEDOM, WHEN I GOT BEHIND THE WHEEL AND-MY DADDY LET ME DRIVE
IT WAS SUCH A GOOD FEELING, TO HANG WITH MY OLD MAN, I WISH HE WAS ALIVE
WE’D DRIVE AROUND TO NOWHERE, DRINK US A COLD BEER, SO MUCH FOR BIRDS AND THE BEES
WE MADE A MEMORY-IN THIS GMC OUTRO: Em,C,G,D-G. I GOT MY FIRST PICKUP TRUCK WHEN I TURNED FIFTHTEEN, JUST A HAND ME DOWN CHEVY, IT WAS A GMC.
