Jerry Jeff Walker - Pickup Truck Song Chords

         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 1]
             G                 A
We'd make a run to the county dump
             D       A       Bm     A
We'd always wave we saw someone
 G                Em                 A    G   Bm   A
Grandpa make up a song as we rolled along
     G                    A
the post office without fail
              D             A            Bm     A
We get some feed and we'd check out the mail
         G                        A                     D
And we never took the same road twice on the way back home.

G  A  D  A  Bm  A       G   A   D


    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           A       Bm    A
We'd always wave when we saw someone

 G                 Em                 A    G   Bm   A
Hondo'd make up a tale as we rolled along

              G                    A
We’d hit the post office without fail
                D             A            Bm     A
He'd get some chew and we'd check out the mail
G                               A                     D
And we never took the same road twice on the way back home

G  A  D  A  Bm  A       G   A   D

         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         A      Bm     A
We always wave if we see someone
     G                      Em               A    G   Bm   A
The kids love to make up a song as we roll along
        G                    A
To the post office without fail
               D            A            Bm      A
We get some stamps and we check out the mail
         G                        A                    D
And we never take the same road twice on the way back home

G  A  D  A  Bm  A

G                        A                   D         A  D
Half the fun's gettin' lost on the way back home
