Pickup Man - Joe Diffie
INTRO G
VERSE 1
[G] Well I got my first truck, when I was three,
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
Hauled [C] marbles and rocks, and thought twice before
I hauled a [G] Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door
When she [D] paid me with a kiss I began to understand,
There's just [G] something women like about a PickUp Man
BREAK G
VERSE 2
[G] When I turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks
My first car was a Pickup Truck
Started [C] cruisin' the town and the first girl I seen
was [G] Bobbie Jo Gentry the homecoming queen
She [D] flagged me down and climbed up in the cab, and said
[G] "I never knew you were a Pickup Man!"
CHORUS
[C] You can 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 [D] if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
I met [C] all my wives in traffic jams,
You know there's [G] something women like about a Pickup Man
BREAK G
VERSE 3
[G] Most Friday nights, I can be found
In the back of my truck on an old chaise lounge
Backed [C] 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,
There's just [G] something women like about a pickup Man
CHORUS
SOLO OVER CHORUS C G C D
BRIDGE
[C] A bucket of rust, or a brand new machine
[D] Once around the block and you'll know what I mean
CHORUS
OUTRO G 'til end
