[Chorus]A 1980 Dodge van was my very first carI drove her around just everywhereHad three hundred thousand hard miles on that motorBeen haulin' my family 'round long as I rememberNow that van was mineGonna turn her around one more timeThat beautiful big brown 1980 Dodge van[Verse]She took us to D.C., Six Flags and Worlds of FunDaddy asleep at the wheel, mama ridin' shotgunI'd steer while my daddy sleptHe'd put it in cruise, take a little napHow'd we stay alive in that 1980 Dodge van1980 Dodge van, she was a maxi-vanHad to haul five kids and a country bandWent all around to the Eagles, Elks and MooseWhen I got a hold of her, I really turned hеr looseTook out all them seatsHad a homе on wheels, oh, it was real sweetI was livin' large in that 1980 Dodge vanI'd hobo 'round with my home parked on the streetTown to town, buskin' and livin' freeYeah, my first ramblin' daysWere in the Dodge van mom and daddy gave meI drove her proud up and down, all across the land[Bridge]One day, that old van, she didn't wanna start no moreI took her to a lot of mechanics and they broke my heartThousands of dollars laterShe still had a broken carburetorWish someone could fix that 1980 Dodge van[Chorus]A 1980 Dodge van was my very first carI drove her around just everywhereHad three hundred thousand hard miles on that motorBeen haulin' my family 'round long as I rememberNow that van was mineGonna turn her around one more timeThat beautiful big brown 1980 Dodge vanTurn around one more timeSure did love that 1980 Dodge van
