Lyrics

Take The Pickup And Go

Well she walked into the front room like she was stepping into the ring
With a look upon her face that coulda made her old man sing
Said listen here and listen good and don't you interrupt
Well I'm sick and tired of just surviving in a life that don't add up

The daily grind is tearing us apart
I'm gonna leave before it breaks my heart

I'm gonna take the pickup and go
And drive these blues away
I'll be heading for the hills
You'll never catch me anyway
Sometimes there's no forgiving
When there's trouble on your mind
And it seems like its the blind leading the blind
I'm gonna take this truck
And leave it all behind

So I wandered round the empty house and looked inside myself
And I came to the decision that there just ain't no one else
Then I grabbed my boots and found my keys and I stepped myself outside
Looked up and down that lonely road and took me for a ride

We never took the time just left it up to fate
But i'm gonna save that girl of mine before it's much too late







I'm gonna take the pickup and go
Cause she's calling loud and clear
lf I'm heading for a showdown
Then it's time I faced my fear
Sometimes life ain't worth the trouble
If you keep it all inside
And it feels like its the blind leading the blind
I'm gonna take this truck
And see what i can find

She's missing something
Could be the one thing I can give
The voice of reason's screamin? at me

Well she rang me from a truckstop cryin' and alone
Through all her tears I said baby just come on home

I'm gonna take the pickup and go
And drive my baby home
Now I know that there's a future
Where she?s never gonna be alone
And life's too short to blow it
When you know that she's the one
There ain?t no breakin all the ties that bind
And we got a love that most people never find
We're gonna take this truck
And leave the dark behind
