“A Girl Who Can Drive Stick” lyrics

Give me a girl who can drive stick

Met her at the feed store with a bag of grain
Throwing fifty pounds like it was nothing, man
I said "Can I help you" and she laughed at me
Said "Honey, you can hold the door, that's all I need"
She drives an old Ford with a stubborn clutch
Grinds it into second and it purrs so much
Rolled her window down, said "You coming or not"
I jumped in the bed of that truck and I got

You can keep your city girls
With the nails and the flights
I want one who'll pull me out
When I'm stuck at night

Give me a girl who can drive stick
Back a trailer down to the lake quick
Change a tire in a sundress
Give me a girl who can drive stick

Drive stick, drive stick
(Hey!)
Drive stick

She can skin a deer and she can two-step too
She can quote the Bible and a Waylon tune
She'll fix your fence then she'll fix your heart
Then she'll beat you in a race in a shopping cart
Mama likes her 'cause she's got some grit
Daddy likes her 'cause she laughs at his wit
Every boy in the county wants a look
Only one of us got took

You can keep your city girls
With the nails and the flights
I want one who'll pull me out
When I'm stuck at night

Give me a girl who can drive stick
Back a trailer down to the lake quick
Change a tire in a sundress
Give me a girl who can drive stick

First gear (hey)
Second gear (hey)
Pop the clutch, she's out of here
Third gear (hey)
Fourth gear (hey)
Give me a girl who drives it here

Give me a girl who can drive stick
Back a trailer down to the lake quick
Change a tire in a sundress
Give me a girl who can drive stick

Drive stick, drive stick
(Hey!)
Drive stick
