“Hang on to her, boy
With all your might
She’s got so much to give
If you treat her right
She’s a classic
Perfect in every way
One of a kind
Now that’s what my daddy would say
And when I turned 18
He smiled at me
Walked outside and tossed me the keys
And he said
“Hang on to her, boy
With all your might
She’s got so much to offer
If you treat her right”
In a world where things are changing fast
Ain’t too many things that are made to last
Hang on to her, boy
They don’t make them like that any more”
She’s a beauty
The kind you don’t see every day
Yeah, she’s timeless
Well, that’s what her daddy would say
And arm and arm
AS they walked down the aisle
He gave me her hand
And said with a smile
“Hang on to her, boy
with all your might
She’s got so much to give
If you treat her right
In a world where things are changing fast
Ain’t too many things that are made to last
Hang on to her, boy
They don’t make them like that anymore”
Lyrics to the song “They don’t make them
like that anymore” composed by Boy Howdy.
Sometimes a simple song such as above
can invoke deep sentiments within me;
might that be the case with you?—
I would not be surprised.
