Pickup Truck Song
 
 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
