It was way back in the corner of this
old ramshackle barn
Thirty years of dust and dirt on that
green army tarp
When I pulled the cover off
it took away my breath
What she'd called a Chevy
was a sixty six corvette
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 glove box and that's when
I found the note
The date was nineteen sixty six and
This is what he wrote
He said my name is Private Andrew Malone
If you're reading 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
And 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 running good
I love to hear those horses
Thunder underneath her hood
I had her shining like a diamond and
I'd 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 show
especially late at night
I'd get the feeling sometimes if
I turned real quick I'd see
A soldier riding 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
another one 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
One night it was raining hard
I took the curve too fast
I still don't remember much about
that fiery crash
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
another one comes true
This car was once a dream of his
back when it was new
I know I wouldn't be here if
he hadn't tagged along
That night I was riding with Private Malone
Oh thank god I was riding with Private Malone
