Pickup Truck Song by Jerry Jeff Walker
Pickup Truck Song
Capo:no capo
D G
Yea, I used to look forward to Saturdays
D A
When me and my grandpa'd get way
G A D
We'd hop in his pickup truck and we'd go to town
D G
We had a couple chores that we had to do
D A
It didn't take long before we were through
G A D
Then we'd let the pickup truck just wander around
CHORUS
G A
We'd make a run to the county dump
D G
We'd always wave we saw someone
A D
Grandpa make up a song as we rolled along
G A
the post office without fail
D G
We get some feed and we'd check out the mail
A D
And we never took the same road twice on the way back home.
D G
I spent a few years out runnin' free
D A
I spent two or three in New York City
G A D
moved back to Texas tired, hell I'd had enough
D G
I'd go to Luckenbach on Saturdays
D A
Cause Hondo had a way to brighten up my day
G A D
He always made me laugh when we rode in his pickup truck
CHORUS 2
G A
We'd make a run to the county dump
D G
We'd always wave when we saw someone
A D
Hondo'd make up a tale as we rolled along
G A
the post office without fail
D G
He'd get some chew and we'd check out the mail
A D
And we never took the same road twice on the way back home
D G
Well I miss grandpa and Hondo too
D A
I really miss the things that we used to do
G A D
So last week I went out and bought me an old pickup truck
D G
Now me and the kids spend Saturdays
D A
We do fun things in a simple way
G A D
We love to start the day with a ride in the pickup truck
CHORUS 3
G A
We make a run to the county dump
D G
We always wave if we see someone
A D
The kids love to make up a song as we roll along
G A
To the post office without fail
D G
We get some stamps and we check out the mail
A D
Wnd we never take the same road twice on the way back home
G A D
Half the fun's gettin' lost on the way back home
