Pickup Truck Song


Jerry Jeff Walker 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
