Lyrics
A Country Boy's Dream
Verse 1
I was driving into the city
In my worn-out Ford pickup truck.
And I saw you there, I could not help but stare,
And I wondered, should I try my luck?
You were sitting there looking so pretty,
I had my doubts, but I was intrigued.
Would I have a chance to start a romance
With a beauty so out of my league.
I approached you with great trepidation,
Would fate let me make you my own?
But after a while, I couldn't wipe off my smile,
We left together and I took you home.
Chorus
You're the one that I always wanted,
I thought I never could find you, it seemed.
I pinch myself all the time, can't believe that you're mine,
You're a beauty, a country boy's dream.
Verse 2
Although there were others before you,
You were different, it seemed you always knew,
You could sense how I feel, when asleep at the wheel
You would be there to help me get through.
As the days passed, you learned all my passions,
Together we drove near and far.
You knew how I think when you drove me to drink
With the boys at the honky-tonk bar.
You seemed to have unending patience
Sitting loyally while I had my fun.
You waited outside, knowing I'd need a ride
And that showed me that you were the one.
Chorus
You're the one that I always wanted,
I thought I never could find you, it seemed.
I pinch myself all the time, can't believe that you're mine,
You're a beauty, a country boy's dream.
Instrumental Break
Verse 3
But it seems good things don't last forever,
And you had a mind of your own.
It ran through my head as I lay in your bed
Could it be that I'd soon be alone?
We had traveled down life's roads together,
And I thought that you'd always be true.
But just as I feared, you shifted gears
And left me for somebody new.
Verse 4
Now I'm sitting here drinking this whiskey,
In tears because you wouldn't stay.
You broke my heart when I heard your motor start
And I watched you driving away.
Now I can't go out with my buddies,
And I've just plain run out of luck.
I sit all alone, stuck here at home,
Since you left me, you self-driving truck.
And I miss you, my self-driving truck.
