[Verse 1]
Off-white, three-fifty, farmer four
Gotta pump the throttle, gotta slam the door
Pulls right, but it'll pull anything
Sounds good, but man, it drinks gasoline
Cherry mark on the seat from a Camel Crush
And that pre-game burnt CD's still stuck
There's plenty of shined-up Chevies rolling right off the line
Yeah, but they ain't got nothing on mine
[Chorus]
'Cause they ain't making new old trucks
Can't fake the fade on the rocker panel rust
Dents from a fence post I didn't see coming
Scratch on the hood from her Levi buttons
Daddy had it for the first hundred K
I drove the rеst, wouldn't sell or trade
That many miles of mеmories for a million bucks
'Cause they ain't making new old trucks
[Verse 2]
Whatchya know about it, Dierks?
Seen the beach, seen the creek, seen the Bible Belt
Sunrise after all night of raising hell
Didn't break down when I did
Never gonna find another one like this
[Chorus]
'Cause they ain't making new old trucks
Can't fake the fade on the rocker panel rust
Dents from a fence post I didn't see coming
Scratch on the hood from her Levi buttons
Daddy had it for the first hundred K
I drove the rest, wouldn't sell or trade
That many miles of memories for a million bucks
'Cause they ain't making new old trucks, mmm
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you can't find 'em, you can't buy 'em
Pretty girls like 'em, good ol' boys drive 'em
'Round map-dot towns
'Til they run 'em into the ground
[Chorus]
'Cause they ain't making new old trucks
Can't fake the fade on the rocker panel rust
Dents from a fence post I didn't see coming
Scratch on the hood from her Levi buttons
Daddy had it for the first hundred K
I drove the rest, wouldn't sell or trade
That many miles of memories for a million bucks
'Cause they ain't making new old trucks
No, they ain't making new old trucks
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you can't find 'em, you can't buy 'em
Pretty girls like 'em, good ol' boys drive 'em
'Round map-dot towns
'Til they run 'em into the ground
New Old Trucks was written by Jordan Minton & James Barker & Hunter Phelps & Casey Brown.

James-barker-band released New Old Trucks on Fri Jan 01 2021.
I’ve tried to write a few songs over the years that reflect how I feel about my ‘94 Chevy truck, and why I’ve never gotten a new one. After hearing this song however, I knew I’d never try to write one again … this song says it all. I’m honored that the James Barker Band invited me to be a part of it...
We were so surprised no one had written this song yet. When we got in the room to write a few months ago, two of us actually came separately with this exact idea so we knew we had something good. When writing songs you always want every lyric to be true but sometimes you have to stretch things a bit...
