The Ride

My first car was a '67 Deville
I really thought I was cool
Til everybody started laughing at me
When I drove that thing to school

Then I bought a used taxi cab
With the sign still on the side
But everybody kept waving me down
So I finally got rid of that ride

I was still in high school back in '79
When I bought me a pick-up truck
You could see the road thru the floor board
So when it rained I was out of luck

I ended up with Volkswagon bug
And, well, I'm 6 foot 3
So, you can probably read between the lines
It was a little too small for me

I didn't have much luck with women
But the good Lord knows I tried
I guess that's the end of my story
So tell me, what was your first ride
