I got my first truck when i was three,
drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
Hauled marbles and rocks and thought twice before
I hauled a barbie doll bed for the girl next door.
She tried to pay me with a kiss and i began to understand,
thers somethin women like about a pick up man
When I turned sixteen I saved a few hundred bucks
my first car was a pick up truck
I was cruisin' the town and the first girl I see was
Bobby Joe Gentry; the homecoming Queen
She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab and said
"I never knew you were a pick up man"
Chorus
You could set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill,
and I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville.
I've got an 8 foot bed that never has to be made,
you know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tail gates.
I met all my wives in traffic jams there's just somethin women
like about a pickup man
Most Friday nights I can be found,
in the bed of my truck on an old chaise lounge.
Backed into my spot at the drive-in show
You know a cargo-light sets off a romantic glow.
I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand
cause there's somethin' women like about a pickup man
Chorus
You could set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill,
and I still wouldn't trade it for a coupe de ville.
I've got an 8 foot bed that never has to be made,
you know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tail gates.
I met all my wives in traffic jams, there's just somethin' women
like about a pickup man
(Bridge)
A bucket of rust or a brand new machine,
once around the block and you'll know what I mean
Chorus
You could set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill,
and I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville.
I've got an 8 foot bed that never has to be made,
you know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tail gates.
I met all my wives in traffic jams tOnce I had a sweet love
Always followed me around
The way I treated my little lamb was like
The Marquis D. Sade and Her new clown
I guess I hurt him
I guess I hung up
I guess I should have called him back
I guess I didn't care
Maybe I left him there
Maybe a woman just acts like that
What's a matter?
Hey baby, baby
What's a matter?
Don't you want me?
What's a matter?
Now Baby, baby
What's a matter?
Is this The Real End?
Well, I had some dough,
I had a big car,
I turned around and all the money was spent
I don't know wherever it goes but
That's probably where my baby went
So you got a New boy
He's so fine
He wants to be with you
All the time
Don't tell him he's the only one
Or your New boy becomes a Hard to find
What's a matter?
Hey baby, baby
What's a matter?
Don't you want me?
What's a matter?
Now Baby, baby
What's a matter?
Is this The Real End?
Can I tell you about it?
Once you find yourself
A Better man
Treat him special all of the time
Make him some catfish
Fry it up in bed
Don't leave him hangin' on the telephone line
But keep him guessing
Don't tell him where you are
Keep your old linen to yourself
Keep your bank account
And what you don't worry about,
If you can give,
Well, it i`ust might work out
What's a matter?
Hey baby, baby
What's a matter?
You look so funny
What's a matter?
Now Baby, baby
What's a matter?
Is this the real
Real End?
