Ford Ranger
A battered old truck outsmarts faster drivers through patience, timing, and stubborn endurance.

Lyrics
Ford Ranger
By Smartass Amoeba
introShe don’t look like much
But she still goes
verseI got a Ford Ranger
Twenty years old
She don’t move real fast
But she still goes
verseYou can beat her flat out
On the open straight
But when we hit the city
Better get out of her way
pre-chorusNeanderthal
Neanderthal
Doesn’t always win the race
chorusFord Ranger
She still goes
Ford Ranger
Everybody knows
verseYou can drive a Charger
Or a lifted truck
Don’t matter what you’re runnin’
You’re gonna get stuck
verseI ease off the throttle
Cut into your line
Shut you down in traffic
Now you’re stuck behind
pre-chorusNeanderthal
Neanderthal
Doesn’t always know his place
chorusFord Ranger
She still goes
Ford Ranger
Everybody knows
verseThe harder you push
The more behind you get
You jump for a gap
Get hit with regret
verseSlam on the brakes
Then hard on the gas
Always wide open
But you still end up last
verseYou never learned how
To look up ahead
Like a game of chess
Now you’re boxed in instead
breakguitar riff(En passant! En passant!)
chorusFord Ranger
She still goes
Ford Ranger
Everybody knows
