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 cruisin' 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 Cuz 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 just 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 just something women like about a pickup man Yes there's something women like about a pickup man
