Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Well, I bought that old Ford back in '89,
Rusted fenders, but she ran just fine.
We'd cruise the backroads 'neath the Tennessee sky,
Chasin' sunsets, just her and I.
She'd rattle and shake on them gravel lanes,
But she never quit, through the sun or rain.
Then one summer night at the county fair,
I met Emma Sue with her golden hair.
(Chorus)
Oh, my pickup truck and Emma Sue,
They're the two things that pull me through.
One's got wheels, the other's got heart,
Together they keep me from fallin' apart.
From haulin' hay to dancin' slow,
In the bed of that truck under stars aglow.
Yeah, my pickup truck and Emma Sue,
They're the ride of my life, tried and true.
(Verse 2)
We'd park by the river, fish till dawn,
Emma laughin' as the fire burned on.
That old bench seat held our dreams so tight,
Whisperin' promises in the pale moonlight.
Through the hard times when the money was low,
She'd say, "Darlin', let's just hit the road."
With a full tank of gas and her hand in mine,
We'd leave the worries far behind.
(Chorus)
Oh, my pickup truck and Emma Sue,
They're the two things that pull me through.
One's got wheels, the other's got heart,
Together they keep me from fallin' apart.
From haulin' hay to dancin' slow,
In the bed of that truck under stars aglow.
Yeah, my pickup truck and Emma Sue,
They're the ride of my life, tried and true.
(Bridge)
Years have passed, and the paint's worn thin,
But that engine hums like it did back when.
Emma's hair's got silver, but her smile's the same,
And we're still rollin' in love's sweet game.
No fancy ride could ever replace,
The memories we've made in this old space.
(Final Chorus - Fade Out)
Oh, my pickup truck and Emma Sue,
They're the two things that pull me through.
One's got wheels, the other's got heart,
Together forever, never apart.
From dusty trails to the end of the line,
With my truck and my girl, everything's fine.
Yeah, my pickup truck and Emma Sue,
They're the song of my life, forever true.
