Pickup Man Joe Diffie
WELL I [G]GOT MY FIRST TRUCK, WHEN I WAS THREE,
DROVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES ON MY KNEES
HAULED [C7]MARBLES AND ROCKS, AND THOUGHT TWICE BEFORE,
I HAULED A [G]BARBIE DOLL BED FOR THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
SHE TRIED TO [D]PAY ME WITH A KISS I BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND,
G (N.C.) G
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING WOMEN LIKE ABOUT A PICKUP MAN
WHEN I TURNED [G]SIXTEEN, I SAVED A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS,
MY FIRST CAR WAS A PICKUP TRUCK
STARTED C[C7]RUISIN' THE TOWN AND THE FIRST GIRL I SEEN
WAS B[G]OBBIE JO GENTRY THE HOMECOMING QUEEN
SHE F[D]LAGGED ME DOWN AND CLIMBED UP IN THE CAB,
G (N.C.)
AND SAID, I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE A PICKUP MAN
YOU CAN [C7]SET MY TRUCK ON FIRE, ROLL IT DOWN A HILL,
BUT I [G]STILL WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR A COUPE DEVILLE
IT'S GOT AN [C]EIGHT FOOT BED THAT NEVER HAS TO BE MADE,
YOU KNOW IF IT [D]WEREN'T FOR TRUCKS WE WOULDN'T HAVE TAILGATES
I MET [C7]ALL MY WIVES IN TRAFFIC JAMS,
YOU KNOW THERE'S SOME[G]THING WOMEN LIKE ABOUT A [D]PICKUP [G]MAN
MOST FRI[G]DAY NIGHTS, I CAN BE FOUND,
IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK ON AN OLD CHAISE LOUNGE
BACKED [C7]INTO MY SPOT AT THE DRIVE-IN SHOW,
YOU KNOW A [G]CARGO LIGHT GIVES OFF A ROMANTIC GLOW
I NEVER [D]HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE AT THE POPCORN STAND,
G (N.C.)
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING WOMEN LIKE ABOUT A PICKUP MAN
[C7] [G] [C] [D]
A [C]BUCKET OF RUST, OR A BRAND NEW MACHINE
[D]ONCE AROUND THE BLOCK AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT I MEAN
