Pickup Truck Song

 C majorC               FF
Yea, I used to look forward to Saturdays
C majorC            G+G
When me and my grandpa'd get way
FF           G+G          C majorC
We'd hop in his pickup truck and we'd go to town

C majorC               FF
We had a couple chores that we had to do
C majorC             G+G
It didn't take long before we were through
FF            G+G         C majorC
Then we'd let the pickup truck just wander around

CHORUS:
FF               G+G
We'd make a run to the county dump
      C majorC      A minorAm
We'd always wave we saw someone
 FF        G+G
Grandpa make up a song as we rolled along
FF            G+G
the post office without fail
      C majorC              A minorAm
We get some feed and we'd check out the mail
  FF               G+G           C majorC
And we never took the same road twice on the way back home.

C majorC            FF
I spent a few years out runnin' free
C majorC            G+G
I spent two or three in New York City
FF          G+G         C majorC
moved back to Texas tired, hell I'd had enough

C majorC            FF
I'd go to Luckenbach on Saturdays
C majorC                 G+G
Cause Hondo had a way to brighten up my day
FF         G+G                C majorC
He always made me laugh when we rode in his pickup truck

CHORUS 2:
FF               G+G
We'd make a run to the county dump
      C majorC        A minorAm
We'd always wave when we saw someone

 FF        G+G
Hondo'd make up a tale as we rolled along
FF            G+G
the post office without fail
       C majorC              A minorAm
He'd get some chew and we'd check out the mail
 FF               G+G           C majorC
And we never took the same road twice on the way back home

C majorC            FF
Well I miss grandpa and Hondo too
C majorC                G+G
I really miss the things that we used to do
  FF            G+G            C majorC
So last week I went out and bought me an old pickup truck

C majorC             FF
Now me and the kids spend Saturdays
C majorC           G+G
We do fun things in a simple way
  FF              G+G         C majorC
We love to start the day with a ride in the pickup truck

CHORUS 3:
FF              G+G
We make a run to the county dump
     C majorC       A minorAm
We always wave if we see someone
 FF             G+G        C majorC
The kids love to make up a song as we roll along
FF             G+G
To the post office without fail
      C majorC              A minorAm
We get some stamps and we check out the mail
 FF               G+G           C majorC
Wnd we never take the same road twice on the way back home
FF           G+G          C majorC
Half the fun's gettin' lost on the way back home
