Jackson’s Drive album begins and ends with songs about cars. This final track is an ode to his first car, cheekily and ironically described as his “first love… an older woman” that doesn’t reveal until several lines in that the subject is a vehicle.
– Jackson’s first car, a used 1955 Thunderbird

[Verse 1]
I was fifteen, she was eighteen
The prettiest thing I'd ever seen in my life
I loved her at first sight
I found her in Marietta, a town north of Atlanta
I brought her home to see my folks
They loved her too
We were together for a long time
Thought it would be for all time
But things change and rearrange
She had to go
She left me crying in '79
An airline pilot in Carolina
I was a wreck, can't drive a check
It broke my heart
[Chorus]
My first love was an older woman
There's been many since
But there'll never be another
Built in 1955, snowshoe white, overdrive
I never should've sold her, I'll always love her
She was mine
[Verse 2]
Years went by, teardrops dried
I got her back, I was surprised
In '93, a gift to me on Christmas Eve
We were both older so I restored her
Could've sold her for a lot more
But I will never she's mine forever
Until I go
[Chorus]
My first love was an older woman
There's been many since
But there'll never be another
Built in 1955, snowshoe white, overdrive
I never should've sold her, I'll always love her
She was mine
[Outro]
I'll never sell her she's mine forever
I love her so
