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 I 
BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND,

WHEN I TURNED SIXTEEN, I SAVED A FEW
 HUNDRED BUCKS,

MY FIRST CAR WAS A PICKUP TRUCK

SHE FLAGGED ME DOWN AND CLIMBED UP 
IN THE CAB,

PICKUP MAN

IT DOWN A HILL,

BUT I STILL WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR A 
COUPE DEVILLE

NEVER HAS TO BE MADE,
