[00:04.793] I was just out of the service
[00:07.031] Thumbin' through the classifieds
[00:09.990] When an ad that said "Old Chevy"
[00:12.706] Somehow caught my eye
[00:15.373] The lady didn't know the year
[00:17.749] Or even if it ran
[00:19.914] But I had that thousand dollars in my hand
[00:25.096] It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn
[00:30.482] With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
[00:35.708] And when I pulled the cover off
[00:38.188] It took away my breath
[00:40.808] What she called a Chevy
[00:43.124] Was a sixty-six Corvette
[00:46.780] And I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
[00:52.130] But what a thrill I got
[00:54.364] When I sat behind the wheel
[00:58.610] I opened up the glovebox
[01:00.617] And that's when I found the note
[01:03.618] The date was 1966 and this is what he wrote
[01:09.656] He said my name is Private Andrew Malone
[01:14.857] And if your readin' this, then I didn't make it home
[01:21.138] But for every dream that shattered
[01:24.161] Another one comes true
[01:26.628] This car was once a dream of mine
[01:28.968] Now it belongs to you
[01:31.948] Though you may take her and make her your own
[01:38.311] You'll always be riding with Private Malone
[01:48.275] Well it didn't take me long at all
[01:50.849] I had her runnin' good
[01:53.627] I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
[01:58.503] I had her shinin' like a diamond and I put the rag top down
[02:03.544] All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
[02:10.233] The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
[02:15.149] But it picked up that Oldie's Show
[02:17.649] Especially late at night
[02:21.684] I get the feelin' sometimes If I turned real quick I'd see
[02:26.734] A soldier ridin' shotgun
[02:29.194] In the seat right next to me
[02:32.515] It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
[02:37.930] Who fought for his country and never made it home
[02:44.193] But for every dream that's shattered
[02:47.081] There's another that comes true
[02:49.588] This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
[02:54.674] He told me to take her and make her my own
[03:00.879] And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone
[03:11.088] One night it was rainin' hard
[03:14.032] I took the curve too fast
[03:16.632] I still don't remember much about that firey crash
[03:22.625] But someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
[03:28.125] They didn't get his name
[03:30.138] But I know without a doubt
[03:33.779] It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
[03:39.436] Who fought for his country and never made it home
[03:45.403] But for every dream that shattered
[03:48.449] Another one comes true
[03:51.040] This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
[03:56.025] And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
[04:02.131] Yeah that night I was riding with Private Malone
[04:12.113] Oh thank God I was riding with Private Malone...
