This Old Truck by Sin and Shine
This Old Truck
Verse 1 (Male)
Bought it used with a cracked-up seat
Radio stuck on some old Hank beat
Picked you up in a borrowed dress
You laughed at the mess, said, (“I don’t mind this”)
Verse 2 (Female)
You drove too fast down County Road 9
One hand on the wheel, one holding mine
No air, no plan, (just young and sure)
Like love was a gas tank that stayed full
It’s seen us when we didn’t know what to say
Yeah, it heard every word we couldn’t say
Chorus (Together)
This old truck knows our names
Every mile, every break, (every scar we made)
First kiss, last nerve,( backseat prayers)
Carried us through love and repairs
When we forgot what we were fighting for
When silence rode shotgun to the grocery store
It never left us stuck in the rain
This old truck knows our names
Verse 3 (Female)
Car seats buckled, Cheerios crushed
Friday night lights, we were late, we rushed
You slammed the door, I cried the whole way
Didn’t talk, but we still showed up anyway
Verse 4 (Male)
I slept out there one September night
Too mad to apologize, (too wrong to be right)
You brought me coffee at half past two
Didn’t say “sorry,” but we both knew
Pre-Chorus (Male)
Funny how steel and rust remember
Pre-Chorus (Female)
What hearts forget under pressure
Chorus (Together)
This old truck knows our names
Every laugh, every fault,( every almost break)
Wedding rings tapping the steering wheel
Dashboard heard things we couldn’t feel
When the world felt heavy on our bones
When we didn’t feel like coming home
It held us steady through the change
This old truck knows our names
Bridge (Duet – traded lines)
There’s a dent from the night your dad passed on
And a scratch from the day you proved me wrong
Mud on the tires from chasing dreams
Tears in the cab from broken things
Final Chorus (Together)
This old truck knows our names
From young and reckless to worn-in faith
It’s hauled our hopes and our mistakes
(And every version of who we became)
When we forget how far we’ve come
When the days feel longer than the love feels strong
We just drive till it all makes sense
Yeah, this old truck remembers…
When people forget
[Outro ]
One day it won’t turn over
But I’ll still hear you laugh
‘Cause love don’t live in the paint or chrome
It lives in the ride that got us home
Yeah…
This old truck knows our names
