Lyrics
Found you in the dark corner, little buddy
Don't worry
We're gonna get you shining again
Tucked behind the mobs in closet number three
Just the old red box looking back at me
Red light flashing, battery gone cold
Folks had said it was too old and old I carried it outside
to the sunshine bright
Said we're gonna get your panel sparkin' right
Pop the casing off with my floral screwdriver
Gonna turn this rusty box into a survivor
Cleaned the contacts, wiped away the rust
Put my faith in a little country trust
Fresh lithium cell clicked into the slide
Heating up the iron till it's glowing hot
Stick a little daisy on the crash cart
Ready to restart a heavy country heart 200
joules into the dummy load
Ready for the rescues on the county road
Shine little box deep, you'll have to tune
Brighter than the yellow summer harvest moon
Yeah, we brought you back sweet as can be
Daisy on the cart for the whole world to see
Oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh
Nurse Annie ran over when she heard the beat
Tears in her eyes that she couldn't keep
We couldn't afford a brand new one this fall
You saved our clinic,
you answered the call I clipped the little daisy right between the grips
With a humble little smile on my country lips
It ain't about the money, it ain't about the praise
It's knowing that this heartbeat keepers her sage days
A second chance at life inside a little metal tray
Chasing all the dark clouds far away
Stick a little daisy on the crash cart
Ready to restart a heavy country heart 200
joules into the dummy load
Ready for the rescues on the county road
Shine,
little box, beep your happy tune
Brighter than the yellow summer harvest moon
Yeah, we brought you back sweet as can be daisy on
the card for the whole world to see
test shot delivered success stay safe out there
y 'all
