Prompt / Lyrics
whoooaaaa mmmm yeaahh Verse 1: It was a cold spring morn', fog on the glass Turned the key on my old Ford, but she let it pass Cranked like a prayer, but the fire never came Cussed the sky, kicked a tire, called her every name Verse 2: Had gas in the tank, had spark in my eyes But the old girl just sat there, silent and wise Thought it was the coil, thought maybe the plug Even blamed that radio playin’ outlaw love Chorus: Crank no start, just like my heart When you're stuck on the side of the road in the dark Every man meets a moment where he just can’t win But if you ain't movin', you might be learnin' Yeah, she stalled that day, but she lit a spark Crank no start—but she taught me plenty 'bout heart Verse 3: Neighbor came by with a crescent wrench grin Said, “Boy, that sensor's shot—she ain't breathin' in” Two bolts later, like a second wind sigh She roared back to life 'neath that big ol’ sky Bridge: Ain’t it funny how machines break down Right when your dreams are just leavin’ town But that old Ford taught me more than books Like grace in the grind and second-look hooks Final Verse: Now I'm 88, with silver in my beard Tellin’ tales to my grandkids with ears wide and weird They laugh when I say that truck saved my soul But son, it’s the small things that make a man whole Chorus (final): Crank no start, just like my heart When you're stuck on the side of the road in the dark Every man meets a moment where he just can’t win But if you ain't movin', you might be learnin' Yeah, she stalled that day, but she lit a spark Crank no start—but she taught me plenty 'bout heart Outro: Yeah, life’ll leave ya turnin’, wearin’ out your faith But even dead ends can show you the way.
