Pickup Man Lyrics

[00:08.60] Well I got my first truck, when I was three,
[00:11.87] Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
[00:15.15] Hauled marbles and rocks, and thought twice before
[00:18.35] I hauled a Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door
[00:21.61] She tried to pay me with a kiss I began to understand,
[00:25.25] There's just something women like about a PickUp Man
[00:32.11] When I turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks
[00:35.89] My first car was a Pickup Truck
[00:39.06] Started cruisin' the town and the first girl I seen
[00:42.38] Was Bobbie Jo Gentry the homecoming queen
[00:45.94] She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab, and said
[00:50.98] "I never knew you were a Pickup Man!"
[00:52.82] You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill
[00:56.15] But I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe DeVille
[00:59.26] It's got an eight foot bed that never has to be made
[01:02.61] You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
[01:06.15] I met all my wives in traffic jams,
[01:09.35] You know there's something women like about a Pickup Man
[01:14.55]
[01:17.63] Most Friday nights, I can be found
[01:22.48] In the back of my truck on an old chaise lounge
[01:26.04] Backed into my spot at the drive-in show
[01:28.99] You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow
[01:32.72] I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand,
[01:35.84] There's just something women like about a pickup Man
[01:39.48] You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill
[01:42.95] But I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe DeVille
[01:46.13] It's got an eight foot bed that never has to be made
[01:49.53] You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
[01:53.08] I met all my wives in traffic jams,
[01:56.15] You know there's something women like about a Pickup Man
[02:01.25]
[02:15.96] A bucket of rust, or a brand new machine
[02:19.57] Once around the block and you'll know what I mean
[02:24.73] You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill
[02:28.11] But I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe DeVille
[02:31.42] It's got an eight foot bed that never has to be made
[02:34.84] You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
[02:38.36] I met all my wives in traffic jams,
[02:41.42] You know there's something women like about a Pickup Man
[02:44.88]
