Lyrics
[Verse 1] The engine’s coughin' like a smoker's laugh My baby blue's sittin' in the driveway's path Rust on the fender, a crack in the glass But she still purrs when I give her the gas [Pre-Chorus] Got a date at seven, she’s dressed to thrill But my truck's cryin' for a mechanic's skill [Chorus] Truck or love, which one do I choose? Both got charm, but one needs a tune She’s got heels, my truck's got wheels Can’t have both, that’s the deal Truck or love, I’m bound to lose [Verse 2] She texts me hearts, says she’s wearin' red Meanwhile my ride’s leakin' oil instead A bouquet of roses or a box of tools? My wallet’s screamin', "Don’t play the fool!" [Pre-Chorus] My boots are polished, my shirt is clean But under the hood, it’s a gasoline scene [Chorus] Truck or love, which one do I choose? Both got charm, but one needs a tune She’s got heels, my truck's got wheels Can’t have both, that’s the deal Truck or love, I’m bound to lose [Bridge] Maybe I could fix her up real nice Shine that chrome, pay the price Then cruise on over, pick her up in style Show her my truck and win her smile [Chorus] Truck or love, which one do I choose? Both got charm, but one needs a tune She’s got heels, my truck's got wheels Can’t have both, that’s the deal Truck or love, I’m bound to lose [Outro] Truck or love, yeah, truck or love Guess I'll flip a coin and pray to above Truck... or love...
