Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck

 Just my brother and me

 The night before he shipped out overseas

 A leatherneck, jarhead marine

 He said the radiator leaks and the timing belt is worn

 But the heart and soul of this old beat-up truck,

 Is the Dashboard

Chorus

 It's seen a lot of tan legs,

 Got a kick ass radio,

 Heard a lot of singing along to some country songs and rock & roll,

 Got a .38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad,

 A lot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless photographs

 He 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 dashboard

Chorus

 I had the engine overhauled,

 A paint job and brand new chrome,

 I had her washed and waxed,

 Sitting in the drive the day he came home

 I said here's your keys, she's all yours

 I fixed everything, but the dashboard
