Drivin' like he's got a destination
The old man said, the old man said
With old cowboys and broke down cattle lines
And you've got to wear your heart just like a gun"
Now those fields are all but gone
Well I'm never gonna walk this path again
If you're gonna live the life of old
And he said to himself that, "Dusty day way down in Texas"
Like he's got somewhere to go in that beat up ford
The old man said, the old man said
'Til one day when he found his pot of gold
He said, "You got to drive that Ford like it's a Stallion
The boy walked out he was dreamin' of wild times
He said, "You got to drive that Ford like it's a Stallion
His heart's still free and he rides on
He was chasin' butterflies and rainbows
The boy walked out with a new found hero
The old man said, "You gotta have a good imagination"
The old man said, the old man said
If you're gonna live the life of old
See there was a time when he was a young lost soul
The old man said, the old man said
Yeah, the boy well he walked away a man
The old man said, "You gotta have a good imagination"
In the words of the young man who turned old
And you've got to wear your heart just like a gun"
