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
