This song is about my dream truck- one I've never owned and probably never will. I love Toyotas, and have driven them for hundreds of thousands of miles around the country. They just run and run. Never had a Tacoma though, but perhaps someday. - JE -
lyrics
90s Tacoma, I never owned ya
but I’ve seen you in my dreams and on the road.
With knobby tires, and a pickup topper,
there’s no place that Tacoma would not go.
CHORUS:
It never breaks, it never stalls, It’s not too big, not too small.
A little rusty, but so am I.
90s Tacoma, wish you were mine.
High in the rockies, or southern swamp,
Mexicali, Indiana, to Vermont.
Construction workers, and debutants,
90s Tacoma’s what we all want.
CHORUS
No backup camera, no fancy screen.
Tape stuck in the deck, no mp3.
No navigation, no leather seats.
What it don’t have, you don’t need.
CHORUS
