"Pickup Man"
Well, I got my first truck when I was three
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
Hauled marbles and rocks and thought twice before
I hauled a Barbie doll bed for the girl next door
She tried to pay me with a kiss and I began to understand
There's something women like about a pickup man
When I turned sixteen I saved a few hundred bucks
My first car was a pickup truck
I was cruisin' the town and the first girl I see
Was Bobbi Jo Gentry, the Homecoming Queen
She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab
And said, "I never knew you were a pickup man!"
Chorus -
You can set my truck on fire, and roll it down a hill
And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe deVille
I've got an eight foot bed that never has to be made
Y'know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
I met all my wives in traffic jams
There's just something women like about a pickup man
Most Friday nights, I can be found
In the bed of my truck, on an ol' chaise lounge
Backed into my spot at the drive-in show
You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow
I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand
'Course, there's something women like about a pickup man
Chorus
A bucket of rust, or a brand new machine
Once around the block, and you'll know what I mean
Chorus
