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
