Dents in the Door

[Intro]
[Verse]
Wiping grease on a rag
Checking every paper tag
That eighty-seven in the bay
Has seen a better day
But the engine still hums
Until the weekend comes
[Pre-Chorus]
Homecoming is Friday night
Got to get the timing right
She’s gonna wave from the bed
With a crown on her head
[Chorus]
Oh, the dents in the door
Mean a whole lot more
Than a coat of new paint
Or a sinner turned saint
It’s the miles and the years
The laughter and the tears
Rolling down Main Street slow
Watching my baby girl glow
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, we're rolling slow
Watching her glow
In that old Ford truck
With a little bit of luck
[Verse]
I tucked a photo in the visor
Made me a little bit wiser
A Polaroid of eighty-nine
When this old paint was fine
Now she’s picking out a dress
And the shop’s a beautiful mess
[Pre-Chorus]
Candy bouncing off the hood
Doing what a daddy should
Steel guitar starts to swell
Yeah, you can really tell
[Chorus]
Oh, the dents in the door
Mean a whole lot more
Than a coat of new paint
Or a sinner turned saint
It’s the miles and the years
The laughter and the tears
Rolling down Main Street slow
Watching my baby girl glow
[Bridge]
I can feel him in the seat
Driving down a dusty street
A ghost in the passenger side
Taking one last ride
He’d be so proud today
To see her wave that way
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, the dents in the door
Mean a whole lot more
Than a coat of new paint
Or a sinner turned saint
It’s the miles and the years
The laughter and the tears
Rolling down Main Street slow
Watching my baby girl glow
[Hook]
It ain't just rust
It’s a whole lot of trust
Yeah, it’s family gold
Never getting old
[Outro]
