A candy apple mustang at Hot Rod Charlie's used car lot I knew I had to have her, 'cause she already had my heart So all summer long by the sweat of my brow I bucked hay 'til the sun went down When I got the keys - it was time well spent - 'Cause I finally knew what my daddy meant CHORUS I've heard it said a hundred times before While others only dream, the winners work for their reward So you just give it all you've got, 'cause it means so much more When it don't come easy I fell for Jenny Thompson, the brand new girl in town, Everybody said her mama and dad don't want no boys around So I sent her mama some flowers and a card Surprised her daddy when I mowed the yard Jenny said, please, they said 'yes' Her daddy even gave us money for gas The two of us went riding on the Fourth of July We stood down by the river & watched the Fireworks paint the sky A man stood talkin' 'bout his purple heart And how a million others did their part In the name of freedom they took their stand From the revolution to the desert sand From Letras Mania
