[Intro]
[G]
[Verse1]
W[G]Well, I got my first truck when I was three
Drove a [Gm]hundred thousand miles [G]on my [Gm]knees
Hauled m[C]marbles and rocks and thought twice before
I hauled a [G]Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door
She tried to [D]pay me with a kiss and I be[D7]began to understand
There's [G]something [N.C.]women like about a pickup man [G]
 
[Verse2]
When I [G]turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks
M[G]My first car was a pickup truck
I was [C]cruising the [G]town and the [C]first girl I seen
Was [G]Bobbie Jo Gentry, the homecoming queen
She [D7]flagged me down and climbed up in the cab
And said, "[G]"I never knew you were a pickup man"
 
[Chorus]
You can [C]set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill
And I [G]still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville
I got an [C]eight-foot bed that never has to be made
You know, [D]if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't [D7]have tailgates
I met [C]all my wives in traffic jams
There's just [G]something women like about a [D]pickup[G]pickup man
 
[G] [G] [G7]
[Verse3]
Most [G]Friday nights I can be found
In the bed of my truck on an [G7]old chaise lounge
Backed [C7]into my spot at the drive-in show
You know a [G]cargo light gives off a [C]romantic glow
I never [D7]have to wait in line at the popcorn stand
Cause there's [G]something women like about a pickup man
 
[Chorus]
You can [C]set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill
And I [G]still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville
I got an [C]eight-foot bed that never has to be made
You know, [D]if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't [D7]have tailgates
I met [C]all my wives in traffic jams
There's just [G]something women like about a pickup [G]man
 
[Solo]
[G7] [C] [C7] [G] [G] [C] [C] [D7] [D]
[Bridge]
A [C]bucket of rust or a brand new machine
[D]Once around the block and you'll know what I mean
 
[Chorus]
You can [C]set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill
And I [G]still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville
I got an [C]eight-foot bed that never has to be made
You know, [D]if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't [D7]have tailgates
I met [C]all my wives in traffic jams
There's just [G]something women like about a pickup man
 
[Outro]
[G]Yeah, there's something women like about a [D]pickup [G]man
