Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
Well, I [G]got my first truck when I was three
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
Hauled [C]marbles and rocks
and thought twice before
I hauled a [G]Barbie doll bed
for the girl next door
She tried to [D]pay me with a kiss
and I began to understand
There's [G]something women like
about a pickup man
[G][G]

[Verse 2]
When I [G]turned sixteen,
I saved a few hundred bucks
My first car was a pickup truck
I was [C]cruisin' the town and the first girl I see
Was [G]Bobbie Joe Gentry,
the homecoming queen
She [D]flagged me down
and climbed up in the cab
And [G]said, "I never knew
you were a pickup man"

[Chorus 1]
You can [C]set my truck on fire
and roll it down a hill
And I [G]still wouldn't trade it
for a Coupe de Ville
I got an [C]eight-foot bed
that never has to be made
You know [D]if it weren't for trucks
we wouldn't have tailgates
I met [C]all my wives in traffic jams
There's just [G]something women like
about a [D]pickup man
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 3]
Most [G]Friday nights I can be found
In the bed of my truck
on an old chaise lounge
Backed [C]into my spot at the drive-in show
You know a [G]cargo light
gives off a romantic glow
I never [D]have to wait in line
at the popcorn stand
'Cause there's [G]something women like

[Chorus 2]
about a pickup man
[C]set my truck on fire
and roll it down a hill
And I [G]still wouldn't trade it
for a Coupe de Ville
I got an [C]eight-foot bed
that never has to be made
You know [D]if it weren't for trucks
we wouldn't have tailgates
I met [C]all my wives in traffic jams
There's just [G]something women like
about a [D]pickup man
[G][G]

[Solo 1]
[C][C][G][G]
[C][C][D][D]

[Bridge 1]
A [C]bucket of rust or a brand new machine
[D]Once around the block
and you'll know what I mean

[Chorus 3]
You can [C]set my truck on fire
and roll it down a hill
And I [G]still wouldn't trade it
for a Coupe de Ville
I got an [C]eight-foot bed
that never has to be made
You know [D]if it weren't for trucks
we wouldn't have tailgates
I met [C]all my wives in traffic jams
There's just [G]something women like
about a [D]pickup man
[G][G]
Yeah, there's something women like
about a [D]pickup man

[Outro 1]
[G][G][G][G]
[G][G][G][G]
[Fade out]
