Pickup man (video) (midi)

1. Well, I got my first truck, when I was three,

drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees,

C

hauled marbles and rocks, and thought twice before,

G

I hauled a Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door.

D

When she paid me with a kiss I began to understand,

G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

there's just something women like about a pickup man.

2. When I turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks,

my first car was a pickup truck,

C

started cruisin' the town and the first girl I seen

G

was Bobbie Jo Gentry, the homecoming queen.

D

She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab, and said

G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"I never knew you were a pickup man!"

C

You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill,

G

but I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe DeVille,

C

I got an eight foot bed that never has to be made,

D

you know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates.

C

I met all my wives in traffic jams,

G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - C G

you know there's something women like about a pickup man.

3. Most Friday nights, I can be found

in the back of my truck on an old chaise lounge,

C

backed into my spot at the drive-in show,

G

you know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow

D

I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand,

G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

there's just something women like about a pickup man.

+ CHORUS + C - G - C - D

C

+ A bucket of rust, or a brand new machine,

D D7

once around the block and you'll know what I mean !

+ CHORUS

G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - C G

+ Just something women like about a pickup man.
