Pickup Truck Cowboy
© 1970 Larry Ahearn

You’ve been driving all night Mr. Pickup Truck Cowboy,
You’re Tired
Destination’s in sight, but if you don’t show up Monday,
You’ll be fired

What does it mean? I don’t know.
Old Stony Burk and his rodeo
Can sure drive a man wild

You married too young. She’s sleeping while you stay out drinking
Half the night
You find it all melting back in to the candle wax
Something about the light

Well saddle up that empty truck
If she’s got the will, and you’ve got the luck
You’ll be back running wild

Bridge: You’ve been a soldier on the streets of Cheynenne
But you’re getting older now, and you’ve been
Your own man too long

Time to get rolling home and pack up all the things
you keep inside.
You can get your job back if you tell the boss a story
That your uncle died.

What does it mean? I don’t know.
Old Stony Burk and his rodeo
Can sure drive a man wild

You’ve been driving all night Mr. Pickup Truck Cowboy,
You’re Tired
Denver’s almost in sight, but if you don’t show up Monday,
You’ll be fired

What does it mean? I don’t know.
Old Stony Burk and his rodeo
Can sure drive a man wild
