It's What's Beneath the Hood

Rusty dusty pick up trucks Old Fords and busted Chevys Trucks that tear the road apart And some stuck down the levy Showing off at the truck show All polished up and nice When an old man in a beat up Ford Looked us over once or twice It don't matter how the cover looks It's what's beneath the hood You may look awful pretty But, with no power...it's no good You wanna get the ladies Remember, it's what's beneath the hood Although they like a real good ride There ain't no ride, if there's no wood I smiled and I watched the gent Walk and laugh and smile some He'd mumble something to the girls And they'd follow to where he'd come His truck, was old and battered Wasn't tricked out like the rest But, when it came to having girls around This old man was the best It don't matter how the cover looks It's what's beneath the hood You may look awful pretty But, with no power...it's no good You wanna get the ladies Remember, it's what's beneath the hood Although they like a real good ride There ain't no ride, if there's no wood A truck may last a long long time But you've got to use it right You've got to check the engine And try to run it every night I remember what the old man said It's about what's there beneath the hood The girls don't want it pretty The girls, they want it good..... It don't matter how the cover looks It's what's beneath the hood You may look awful pretty But, with no power...it's no good You wanna get the ladies Remember, it's what's beneath the hood Although they like a real good ride There ain't no ride, if there's no wood
