Young, Chris - The Dashboard Lyrics
We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck
Just my brother and me
The night before he shipped out overseas
A leatherneck, jarhead marine
He said the radiator leaks and the timing belt is worn
Is the Dashboard
[Chorus]
It’s seen a lot of tan legs,
Got a kick ass radio,
Heard a lot of singing along to some country songs and rock & roll,
Got a .38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate Tillman’s dad,
A lot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless photographs
He said if I don’t come back, you can have this Ford
Just tape a picture of me on the dashboard
He said the paint is peeling off,
It’s got dents in both the doors
If something happens to me,
Don’t hang a for sale sign above the dashboard
[Chorus]
I had the engine overhauled,
A paint job and brand new chrome,
I had her washed and waxed,
Sitting in the drive the day he came home
I said here’s your keys, she’s all yours
I fixed everything, but the dashboard

Wow...what a touching song - What a great country singer......
Funny how it seems like hes talking about my old Ford brings back countless memories
THIS IS THE PERFECT SONG TO EXPLAIN TO THOSE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A NAM SHRINE CAR.
My uncle died over seas I'm 13
This song is it.. Me and my little brother are best friends and with me having a ford pickup and fixing to join the Marines.. This song means something to me.
Thankful he made it back Thanks for your service young man. Takes a real man to be a marine.
This reminds me of my brother
USN and USAF and US Marines and US Army
My dad is a marine corps sniper in veitnam January 1967 to January 1969 he almost got blown up twice he made it home and I was born September 6th 1972 and I'm the only one out of 7 kids that dad knows how to handle me at my best and at my worst my dad taught me alot of things in life and when we went to the timber and ditchs to find good places to hunt I saw my dad get an attitude because it's like he's back at war again I'm a daddy's girl I don't back down from anyone or anything I'm not scared my dad taught me to never back down from anything or anyone if you really believe truly that's what you want in life and learn from your mistakes and always watch what's going on around you at all times
Dont like ford but good song. Correction I like old ford square bodys
As a marine I absolutely love this song. I wish he would have released it as a single.

"The Dashboard" lyrics
Chris Young"
"The Dashboard"
We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck
Just my brother and me
The night before he shipped out overseas
A leatherneck, jarhead marine
He said the radiator leaks and the timing belt is worn
But the heart and soul of this old beat-up truck,
Is the Dashboard
[Chorus]
It’s seen a lot of tan legs,
Got a kick ass radio,
Heard a lot of singing along to some country songs and rock & roll,
Got a .38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate Tillman’s dad,
A lot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless photographs
He said if I don’t come back, you can have this Ford
Just tape a picture of me on the dashboard
He said the paint is peeling off,
It’s got dents in both the doors
If something happens to me,
Don’t hang a for sale sign above the dashboard
[Chorus]
I had the engine overhauled,
A paint job and brand new chrome,
I had her washed and waxed,
Sitting in the drive the day he came home
I said here’s your keys, she’s all yours
I fixed everything, but the dashboard
We have the lyrics from his mouth. He gave them to us while he was singing
Not about what you lose in life it's about what you leave.
Great song my king 💋

This song means a lot to me....my ex told me his dad told him about this song when it first came out before his last deployment well my ex joined the military he got deployed about 2 years ago and when I was ridding with him right before he got deployed having a few drinks we played this song the whole night he hit the dashboard and said this things beat up but it runs like new. Ever since then i haven't heard a word from him
I love this song and artist
This song was a big part of my life when my oldest son had just left for boot camp.
Rest easy Holmes Semper Fidelis brother.
@Aucoin007 sounds painful.
Love this song..
LOVE THIS SONG!!
Looking at people's grammar on here makes me worry for the future of our country. Obama is running it into the ground already so I may be fretting over nothing, but it is still very frightening.
Love this song! Chris Young is so underrated. He is one of my favorites in country music. All his songs have meaning. Love him and this song!!
A men to that

Really love this song, one of my faves. Chris, thank you for being in this world! <3
i think of my cousin when i hear this.
This was my brothers song I miss him a lot things just aren't the same around here without him
Wonder what he did to Kate Tillman?
Dated her?
brings tires to my face
Good song
I still find it crazy how far this man has come in his career. I have a picture with him from when I went to a concert he did before he was famous. I was like 14, so like 8 years ago. This is a new favorite song of mine.
I love this song, it reminds me of my older brother <3 He isnt going into the marines but he is leaving for the army soon. and me and him are very very close.... so him leaving is gonna make things very hard.
Yeah so i have listened to this song like a thousand times and every timenit sends a chill down my back .......by far my favorite song
not homosexually but yeah still liked
This song first came out right as my husband left for boot camp. I still can't listen to this without crying
I seen him at the beginning of the month! :)
well my brother was gonna go to the army and i think he still is and sung this to me and my step sister!
My best friend whom I ship out to MCRD San Diego with in 32 days showed this song to me. Sends chills down my spine cause I was gonna do this same thing with my 89 silverado and my little brother.
This song has a deeper meaning then most will understand
this song is true about me and my old ford that i got from my brother when i got sent off
why did this make me cry
he has the sexiest voice in the whole freaking world
