Joe Diffie - "Pickup Man" chords
Start Jamming...
[G]
Well I got my first truck when I was three, drove a hundred thousand miles on my [C] knees.
Hauled marbles and rocks and dogs twice before.
[G] I hauled a Barbie doll bed for the girl next door.
[D] She tried to pay me with a kiss and I began to [G] understand
there's something when you like about a pickup man.
When I turned sixteen I saved a few hundred bucks.
My first car was a pickup [C] truck.
I was cruising the town and the first girl I [G] seen
was Barbie Doge entry, the homecoming queen.
[D] She flagged me down and climbed up in the [G] cab and said,
I never knew you were a pickup man.
You [C] can set my truck on fire and roll it down the [G] hill
and I still wouldn't trade it for a Gucci wheel.
I [C] got an eight foot bed that never has to be made.
You [D] know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates.
I [C] met all my wives in traffic [G] jam.
There's something when you like [D] about a pickup man.
[Gm] Most Friday night I can be found in the bed of my truck
[Gm] on an old chaise lounge.
[C] Back into my spot after driving the show.
[G] You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow.
[D] I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand.
[G] Oh, there's something when you like about a pickup man.
[C] You can set my truck on fire and roll it down the [G] hill
and I still wouldn't trade it for a Gucci wheel.
[C] I got an eight foot bed that never has to be [D] made.
You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have [C] tailgates.
I met all my wives [G] in traffic jam.
There's something when you like about a pickup man.
Oh, I'll stand [C] on his arm.
[G]
[C] [D]
[C] A bucket of rust or a brand new machine.
[D] What's around the block and you know what I mean.
[C] You can set my truck on fire [D] and roll it down the hill
[G] and I still wouldn't trade it for a Cote de Ville.
[C] I got an eight foot bed that never has to be made.
[D] You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates.
[C] I met all my wives in traffic jam.
[G] There's something when you [D] like about a pickup [G] man.
[G] Yeah, there's [D] something when you like about a [G] pickup man.
Oh, cut that pickup now, boy.
That's about it.
[E] [G]
