Pickup Truck Song

 D (xx0232@1)                           GYea, (320003@1)I used to look forward to Saturdays 
D (xx0232@1)                      AWhen (x02220@1)me and my grandpa'd get way 
G (320003@1)                    A (x02220@1)                  D (xx0232@1)   
We'd hop in his pickup truck and we'd go to town 


D (xx0232@1)                            GWe (320003@1)had a couple chores that we had to do 
D (xx0232@1)                        AIt (x02220@1)didn't take long before we were through 
G (320003@1)                      A (x02220@1)               D (xx0232@1)
Then we'd let the pickup truck just wander around 

CHORUS
G (320003@1)                           AWe'd (x02220@1)make a run to the county dump 
            D (xx0232@1)         GWe'd (320003@1)always wave we saw someone        
                  A (x02220@1)               D (xx0232@1)Grandpa make up a song as we rolled along 
G (320003@1)                     A (x02220@1)the post office without fail 
            D (xx0232@1)                         GWe (320003@1)get some feed and we'd check out the mail 
                                A (x02220@1)                   DAnd (xx0232@1)we never took the same road twice on the way back home.
