Sweat dryin’ off my brow after a long hard day
Ridin’ in the back of my daddy’s truck was my bonus pay
I was 12 earnin’ my keep, workin’ at my old man’s side
His only son the twinkle in his eye I was his joy and pride
Kickin’ up dust on those old back roads
I feel like a king
A man and his truck
It’s a beautiful thing
When I turned 16 I got my license and my first real date
My daddy lent me his old 150 he said “Don’t get ‘er home late”
I promised to be a gentleman he put the keys in my hand
Truckin’ down them old dirt roads I was drivin’ like a man
Behind the wheel of that old Ford
I felt like a king
A man and his truck
It’s a beautiful thing
Now I’ve grown a little bit older got a wife and a kid
And I just wanna do as good a job as my old daddy did
With a fear of god and a love of trucks as my only guide
Rollin’ along in my 4x4 heaven with my boy at my side
Kickin’ up dust on those old back roads
I feel like a king
A man and his truck
It’s a beautiful thing
