Intro:  A   D  G  
WDe laughed and joked in the cab of his trGuck
JDust my brother and meG  
TDhe night before he shipped out oveGrseas
A Dleatherneck, jarhead maGrine
He said the raAdiator leaks and the tiGming belt is worn
But the Aheart and soul of this old beat-up trGuck,A  
Is tDhe Dashboard
[Chorus]
IDt's seen a lot of tan legs,
Got a kick ass Gradio,
Heard a lot of Asinging along to some country songs and Grock & roll,
GDot a .38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate GTillman's dad,
A lot of Ascotch tape marks from holding timeless Gphotographs
He said if AI don't come back, you can have Gthis Ford
Just tape a Apicture of me on the Ddashboard
HAe said the paint is peeling off,
IGt's got dents in both the doors
IAf something happens to me,
Don't hang a for sale Gsign above the Ddashboard
[Chorus]
I Dhad the engine overhauled,
A paint job and bGrand new chrome,
I had her Awashed and waxed,
Sitting in the drive the Gday he came home
I Asaid here's your keys, Gshe's all yours
I Afixed everything, Dbut the dashboard
