The Dashboard

We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck

Just my brother and me

The night before he shipped out overseas

A leatherneck, jar head marineHe said, "The radiator leaks

And the timing belt is worn"

But the heart and soul of this old beat up truck

Is the dashboardIt's seen a lot of tan legs

Got a kick ass radio

Heard a lot of singing along

To some country songs and rock 'n' rollGot a .38 bullet hole

Courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad

A lot of scotch tape marks

From holding timeless photographsHe said, "If I don't come back

You can have this Ford

Just tape a picture of me

On the dashboard"He said, "The paint is peeling off"

It's got dents in both the doors

If something happens to me

Don't hang a for sale sign above the dashboardIt's seen a lot of tan legs

Got a kick ass radio

Heard a lot of singing along

To some country songs and rock 'n' rollGot a .38 bullet hole

Courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad

A lot of scotch tape marks

From holding timeless photographsHe said, "If I don't come back

You can have this Ford

Just tape a picture of me

On the dashboard"I had the engine overhauled

A paint job and brand new chrome

I had her washed and waxed

Sitting in the drive the day that he came homeI said, "Here's your keys, she's all yours

I fixed everything but the dashboard"
