Dear Dad Dave Edmunds

Dear Dad, don't get mad
What I'm asking for
Is by the next semester
Can I get another car ?
This one here is sick'ning
On a wide dual road
I might as well be walking
As to drive this old Ford

Almost everyntime I try
To go and pass a truck
If I ain't goin' down hill
Dad, Im, out of luck
And even if I get by
It's still a rugged risk
The way this old Ford
Keep a hitting and miss

Last week when I was driving
On my way to school
I almost got a ticket
'Bout a freeway traffic rule
It's now a violation
Driving under forty-five
And if I push to fifty
This here Ford will nosedive
