David Ball - Riding With Private Malone Lyrics

  • I was just out of the service
  • Thumbin' through the classifieds
  • When an ad that said "Old Chevy"
  • Somehow caught my eye
  • The lady didn't know the year
  • Or even if it ran
  • But I had that thousand dollars in my hand
  • It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn
  • With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
  • And when I pulled the cover off
  • It took away my breath
  • What she called a Chevy
  • Was a sixty-six Corvette
  • And I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
  • But what a thrill I got
  • When I sat behind the wheel
  • I opened up the glovebox
  • And that's when I found the note
  • The date was 1966 and this is what he wrote
  • He said my name is Private Andrew Malone
  • And if your readin' this, then I didn't make it home
  • But for every dream that's shattered
  • Another one comes true
  • This car was once a dream of mine
  • Now it belongs to you
  • Though you may take her and make her your own
  • You'll always be riding with Private Malone
  • Well it didn't take me long at all
  • I had her runnin' good
  • I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
  • I had her shinin' like a diamond and I put the rag top down
  • All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
  • The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
  • But it picked up that Oldie's Show
  • Especially late at night
  • I get the feelin' sometimes If I turned real quick I'd see
  • A soldier ridin' shotgun
  • In the seat right next to me
  • It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
  • Who fought for his country and never made it home
  • But for every dream that's shattered
  • There's another that comes true
  • This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
  • He told me to take her and make her my own
  • And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone
  • Well one night it was rainin' hard
  • I took the curve too fast
  • I still don't remember much about that firey crash
  • But someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
  • They didn't get his name
  • But I know without a doubt
  • It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
  • Who fought for his country and never made it home
  • But for every dream that's shattered
  • There's another that comes true
  • This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
  • And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
  • Yeah that night I was riding with Private Malone
  • Oh thank God I was riding with Private Malone
  • Private Malone
