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 cruising 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 an eightfoot 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 chaise lounge
backed into my spot at the drivein 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 an eightfoot 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 an eightfoot 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
