Pickup Man

Pickup Man - The Sheltons

Well I got my first truck when I was three

Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees

I 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 cruising the town

And the first girl I see

Is Bobbie Joe 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've 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

There's just something women

Like about a pickup man

Most Friday nights I can be found

In the bed of my truck on

An old chaisse 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

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've 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

There's 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 DeVille

I've 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

There's just something women

Like about a Pickup Man

Yes there's something women

Like about a Pickup Man
