"You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill
And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville.
I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made
You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
I met all my wives in traffic jams
There's just something women like about a pickup man."

The passion one can have about their truck. Do anything you want to a "Pickup Man" truck but, you'll never change him into anything else. Also, using a pick-up was a good way to pick up women (even tho that doesn't really work well all that much anymore). Joe Diffie Released "Pickup Man" on October 17, 1994, where the song debuted #56 in the week of October 22, 1994. It is declared as one of Diffie best single, and the only one that lasted the longest, than any of his other #1 hits, on the Hot Country Songs (formerly Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks, which is kinda a long name for a chart). It peaked #1 starting December 17,1994, finished off the year, and lasted through the week of January 7, 1995. It continued to stay on the chart, peaked at #66 on the End-Of-Year 1995 chart, #60 on U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and #9 on the Canada Country Track.
"Pickup Man" was co-written by Howard Perdew and Kerry Kurt Phillips. with the Producer being by Johnny Slate and Bob Montgomery on the album: 'Third Rock from the Sun'. The music video was filmed in the drive-thru found in Lewisburg, Tenn. and film directed by Deaton-Flanigen Productions. In 2005, "Pickup Man" was re-written in 2005 to promote, "Car-side To Go" service for Applebee.
As mentioned earlier, "PickupMan" can have two meaning behind it (with one of them being a hidden message). THe main message is how being a man with a pick-up truck can sure attract a lot of attention from the women. No matter who they might be. You become one of the most well-respected man around as it is mentioned, "Never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand." You become so respected, that it seem even the high maintenance women wants a piece of you, "She flagged me down, climbed in the cab and said 'I never knew you were a pickupman'." (Disclaimer: Not all Homecoming Queens are high maintenance). The hidden message, if it wasn't already caught, is also not only having a pick-up truck, but also the ability to pick up women as well. Anyways you can enjoy this 20 year old classic from Joe Diffie below, Pickup Man.
