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 I BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND,
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING WOMEN LIKE ABOUT A PICKUP MAN
WHEN I TURNED SIXTEEN, I SAVED A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS,
MY FIRST CAR WAS A PICKUP TRUCK
STARTED CRUISIN' 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, ROLL IT DOWN A HILL,
BUT I STILL WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR A COUPE DEVILLE
IT'S GOT AN 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,
YOU KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING WOMEN LIKE ABOUT A PICKUP MAN
MOST FRIDAY NIGHTS, I CAN BE FOUND,
IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK ON AN OLD CHAISE LOUNGE
BACKED INTO 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,
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
