The date was 1966 and this is what he wrote
3198
He said "my name is Private Andrew Malone
3199
And if you’re readin’ this, then I didn’t make it home
3200
But for every dream that’s shattered
3201
Another one comes true
3202
This car was once a dream of mine
3203
Now it belongs to you.
-“BB”-
3204
Though you may take her and make her your own
3205
You’ll always be riding with Private Malone.
3206
Well it didn’t take me long at all
3207
I had her runnin’ good
3208
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
3209
I had her shinin’ like a diamond and I put the rag top down
3210
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
3211
The buttons on the radio didn’t seem to work quite right
3212
But it picked up that oldies show
3213
Especially late at night.
-“BB”-
3214
Sometimes I get the feelin’ if I turned real quick I’d see
3215
A soldier ridin’ shotgun
3216
In the seat right next to me
