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 1979 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 was considered a ladies man Well, until my car got there Then I was cursed with the shampoo bug They remembered they had to wash their hair 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
