Pickup Truck Song

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

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

CHORUS:
F                             G
We'd make a run to the county dump 
            C           Am
We'd always wave we saw someone        
  F                G                  
Grandpa make up a song as we rolled along 
F                       G 
the post office without fail 
            C                           Am
We get some feed and we'd check out the mail 
   F                             G                     C
And we never took the same road twice on the way back home.
C                       F 
I spent a few years out runnin' free 
C                       G
I spent two or three in New York City 
F                    G                  C   
moved back to Texas tired, hell I'd had enough 

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

CHORUS 2:
F                             G
We'd make a run to the county dump 
            C                Am
We'd always wave when we saw someone 

  F                G                 
Hondo'd make up a tale as we rolled along 
F                       G
the post office without fail 
              C                           Am
He'd get some chew and we'd check out the mail 
  F                              G                     C
And we never took the same road twice on the way back home 
 
C                       F
Well I miss grandpa and Hondo too 
C                               G
I really miss the things that we used to do 
   F                        G                       C
So last week I went out and bought me an old pickup truck 

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

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