WELL I GOT MY FIRST TRUCK, WHEN I WAS THREE, 

DROVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES ON MY KNEES
       C7                                                       
HAULED MARBLES AND ROCKS, AND THOUGHT TWICE BEFORE,
           G
I HAULED A BARBIE DOLL BED FOR THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
             D
SHE TRIED TO PAY ME WITH A KISS I BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND,
                 G (N.C.)                            G    
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING WOMEN LIKE ABOUT A PICKUP MAN


              G
WHEN I TURNED SIXTEEN, I SAVED A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS,

MY FIRST CAR WAS A PICKUP TRUCK
         C7
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,
      G   (N.C.)
AND SAID, I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE A PICKUP MAN

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     
IT'S 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
      C7 
I MET ALL MY WIVES IN TRAFFIC JAMS,
                     G                        D      G           
YOU KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING WOMEN LIKE ABOUT A PICKUP MAN


        G 
MOST FRIDAY NIGHTS, I CAN BE FOUND,

IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK ON AN OLD CHAISE LOUNGE
       C7
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   (N.C.)          
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING WOMEN LIKE ABOUT A PICKUP MAN
