Pickup Man - Joe Diffie

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 16, 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 nevеr knew you were a pickup man" You can sеt 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 eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks, you 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 in in my spot at the drive-in show You know the cargo lights give 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 eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks, you 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 eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks, you wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams There's just something women like about a pickup man There's just something women like about a pickup man Aw, drive that pickup now, boys That's about it Ooh-ooh-ooh

Some people never love Some keep a chain of withered hearts Some leave a trail of lovers Like old abandoned cars Me, I've lit a thousand candles Flame of hope at both ends Waiting for someone who Never did come back again Said a prayer And there was you You lay your cool cross Across this blistered heart You turned a light on In a corner that's always been dark You loved me when I was not kind When my soul was fire and ice You pointed out the diamonds That only felt like stones to me Said a prayer And there was you Be the last thing these eyes see When I am called from this earth Be the kiss that testifies Louder than final words Be the air I cling to when I leave Then my final prayer will be One more look, one more taste, one more breath Some people count their money Some people count their friends Some just collect their tears In pillows where all their dreams end Moments are my silver Days are my best companion Years are sweeter than dreams When every one is given To a prayer, and you Be the last thing these eyes see When I am called from this earth Be the kiss that testifies Louder than final words Be the air I cling to when I leave Then my final prayer will be One more look, one more taste, one more breath One more look, one more taste, one more breath

Man that smells good! I can't get rich; I can't make a living, But I sure do something for the neighborhood women. I wake up every morning with em knocking at my door; You can't keep 'em waiting when they're begging for more. "Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound, "You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around!" I used to think they were after me But they're just after my recipe, for Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, I said Good brown gravy, Mmm, good brown gravy Well, you can sop it with a biscuit, you can eat it from a pan, You can lick it off your fingers when it's running down your hand. If I could get a backer I could cause a big commotion. I could put it on the market, call it "Biscuit Lotion." "Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound, "You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around!" I used to think they were after me But they're just after my recipe, for Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, I said Good brown gravy, Mmm, good brown gravy Well, Granny told my momma 'bout the power that it had; Good Brown Gravy is the way she got my dad. They tried to get me in the Army, tried to get me in the Navy, Just to get the secret of my good brown gravy. "Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound, "You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around!" I used to think they were after me But they're just after my recipe, for Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, I said Good brown gravy, good brown gravy Good brown gravy, good brown gravy I mean good brown gravy!

Thumb stuck high in the air Destination anywhere This road decides to go Underneath the desert sky I find a place to hide and rest my weary bones This underpass will shade the heat As my mind drifts off to sleep... There you are with your hair all down And your feet are bare and your cotton gown What a beautiful sight In the moonlight The way you're looking at me with your loving eyes You let me know that for all my life You would always be my only girl But that's another place in time Back when you were mine In another world A car stops way up ahead I climb inside her hair is red I thank her for the ride She talks the miles away I nod and smile and try to say Anything to be polite But as the darkness ends the day Another voice whisper's my name There you are with your hair all down And your feet are bare and your cotton gown What a beautiful sight In the moonlight The way you're looking at me with your loving eyes You let me know that for all my life You would always be my only girl But that's another place in time Back when you were mine In another world There you are with your hair all down And your feet are bare and your cotton gown What a beautiful sight (beautiful sight) In the moonlight The way you're looking at me with your loving eyes You let me know that for all my life You would always be my only girl But that's another place in time Back when you were mine In another world In another world In another world
