The Lyrics

This round of the decathalon was hard but thanks to Matthias for reminding me that Skillet was a metal band. Here is a song about a man, his truck, and the tornado that attempts to pull them apart.
I have a stick shift by my side
And I have white walls on my ride

So hold on and see where I can take you
Oh, by the way don’t you wish that your could drive my 52 Ford?

My truck’s painted ruby red
And all the hicks in the town
Wish they had it instead
My 52 Ford is so strong
It does the job

I’ll stack up the hay, and deliver it all day
(Hay, Hay, Hay)
It’s how I make my money, Doing hay delivery

Oh my brother, the sky is full of clouds
And don’t you know it brother,
The winds are blowing quite loud
I hid in my own basement
Should bring my sister
I’ll get a replacement
After living through twister

My 52 Ford was so stong,
But now it’s gone

I looked up a tree
And I saw my truck in the wood (No, no no!)
I screamed in agony
Cause a branch went right through the hood
(No, No, No! No, No, No!)

(Whispered)
I fell to my knees and I remembered
the words of the insurance man,
your auto policy has run out
And I fell to my knees and said,
(Yelled) Oh! My ruby Ford, My ruby Ford, My ruby Ford, My ruby Ford!

I chopped down that tree
And down came my ruby Ford (No, No, No!)
I screamed in agony
Cause it landed on my dog!

Arf! Arf! Arf! No, No, No! Woof, Woof, ARRRRRRF!

A '52 Ford is so cool, though I don't own one. But this guy I used to go out with in college had leased a truck that's similar to a '52 Ford. He used it mainly for his landscaping business. A truck is a trusty vehicle to store and deliver hay in. It also got me thinking about Dukes of Hazzard and imagined them loading and shipping moonshine as well! Anyways, loved your parody and the way you added those funny dog sound effects in the end! Here's $555 for auto insurance!

I'm only familer with Skillet's newer music with songs like "Rebirthing" (My favorite Skillet song), and "Comatose". I loved the story you painted here with your parody.

Never heard skillet, so thanks for the exposure to new artists. Also well done narrative through the parody. Especially liked the tree/agony stanzas.
