Boy Howdy

“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.
