Truck and a Problem
Rollin' Through Life: Jake Dodds' Truck and a Problem Tale
Lyrics
These streets round here they run real slow
Describing the slow pace of life in the local streets.
To any out of towner who don't know where to go
Warning outsiders about the challenge of navigating these streets.
These clouds of dust will dirty up your two-lane soul
Emphasizing the gritty nature of the surroundings.
So don't forget, who you're around, cause everybody got a truck and a problem
Advising to be mindful of the community, as everyone faces challenges symbolized by their truck and problems.
The ol work week got, me draining
Expressing exhaustion from the work week.
Got my mind set on a vacation, might never come around
Contemplating a vacation that may never materialize.
One hand on the steering wheel, got my mind set on a beer deal
Driving with a desire for a beer deal, amidst multiple personal problems.
Got one too many problems, but this truck ain't one
Acknowledging numerous problems but finding solace in the truck.
This 89 Chevy brought me down to the levy
Referring to an 89 Chevy that brought the speaker to the levy.
Got a couple dents on the tailgate, but it damn sure aint ready for
Highlighting the imperfections of the truck, still unprepared for challenges.
Giving up on gasoline to burn' treads and making scenes
Commitment to using gasoline for adventures and making a statement.

Got a truck and a problem
Reiterating the theme of having a truck and encountering issues.
Growin' up this truck got me where I need to go
Reflecting on the truck's role in the speaker's upbringing and mobility.
Runnin' round these one light towns from show to show
Describing a lifestyle of moving between small towns for performances.
Now we're movin' on to a better place
Expressing a transition to a better place, possibly home in Tennessee.
That Tennessee home is calling my name
Feeling the call of home and a sense of belonging.
This 89 Chevy brought me down to the levy
