7500 OBO Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got an '06, stick shift
Dark blue F150 in good condition
Got a hundred and nineteen thousand miles
Only five on the new transmission

[Pre-Chorus]
It's got leather seats, a sun roof
It's sittin' on thirty-threes, it runs smooth
It'll get you from A to B, but not for me
'Cause every time I turn that key, I see her

[Chorus]
Shotgun ridin' down a two-lane road
Just drivin' around with no place to go, ah
Singin' along to "Where the Green Grass Grows"
Hands out the window, floatin' on the breeze
She's fixin' her lips in the dropdown mirror
That pretty little thing made it hard to steer
I'm never gonna get her out of there
There's too many memories
Now there's a "For sale" sign in the window
Yeah, 'cause if I'm gonna let her go
I gotta let it go, yeah, it's gotta go
So it's $7500 OBO

[Verse 2]
Back bumper's got a dent from her backin' in
To a mailbox first time she drove it
Couldn't even be mad with her lookin' like that
Told her, "Hell, you can hardly even notice"

[Pre-Chorus]
It's got nights with her I can't forget
Kissin' on the tailgate of the truck bed
I wish I didn't have to get rid of it
But every time I turn that key, I see her

[Chorus]
Shotgun ridin' down a two-lane road
Just drivin' around with no place to go, ah
Singin' along to "Where the Green Grass Grows"
Hands out the window, floatin' on the breeze
She's fixin' her lips in the dropdown mirror
That pretty little thing made it hard to steer
I'm never gonna get her out of there
There's too many memories
Now there's a "For sale" sign in the window
Yeah, 'cause if I'm gonna let her go
I gotta let it go, yeah, it's gotta go
So it's $7500 OBO

[Pre-Chorus]
It's got leather seats, a sun roof
It's sittin' on thirty-threes, it runs smooth
It'll get you from A to B, but not for me
'Cause every time I turn that key, I see her

[Chorus]
Shotgun ridin' down a two-lane road
Just drivin' around with no place to go, ah
Singin' along to "Where the Green Grass Grows"
Hands out the window, floatin' on the breeze
She's fixin' her lips in the dropdown mirror
That pretty little thing made it hard to steer
I'm never gonna get her out of there
There's too many memories
Now there's a "For sale" sign in the window
Yeah, 'cause if I'm gonna let her go
I gotta let it go, yeah, it's gotta go
So it's $7500 OBO

[Outro]
It's $7500 OBO
It's $7500 OBO

What did Tim McGraw say about "7500 OBO"?

This song, of course they’re aiming it right at me, the songwriters. You hear the references: They had a version of the ‘Where the Green Grass Grows’ sort of fiddle, and they had some references to my songs and stuff in there. It took me a minute to get my head around that, saying, ‘Should I sing this song or should someone else sing this song?’ But at the end of the day, it was just a really good song. I wasn’t sure how I would handle that kind of vocal cadence, but oddly enough, it was one of the easiest vocals I did on the whole record.
