Old Truck Blues

It ain’t the best looker on the block
looking more like it caught rocks
any yet for years it ran with ease
a faithful friend, sweet as you please

Few the aches and fewer the pains
a staunch shelter in heat or rain
the load box full of ‘important’ things
and me up front, the road’s true king

Its heart broke and stop that morn’
and I was afoot, its loss to mourn
Ol’ Blue had packed it in at last
I fear its time may be in the past

The station medic tending to its care
says for more then I have it’ll be fair
but I have to wonder if it may be saved
for without a grant it may get waived

It ain’t the best looker on the block
looking more like it caught rocks
any yet for years it ran with ease
a faithful friend, sweet as you please
