Pickup Man - Re-Recorded

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 crusin' the town and the first girl I seen

Was Bobbie 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!"

You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill

And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville

I got a eight-foot bed that never has to be made

You 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 bed on an chaise lounge

Backed in to 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

'Cause there's something women like about a pickup man

You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill

And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville

I got a eight-foot bed that never has to be made

You 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

A bucket of rust or a brand new machine

Once around the block and you'll know what I mean

You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill

And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville

I got a eight-foot bed that never has to be made

You 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

Yeah, there's something women like about a pickup man

(Oh, drive that pickup now, boy)

(That's what I did)
