The Truck By Steve Lucas

A friend drove by in a brand new rig,

I'll tell ya' boys, that truck was big A stretched out diesel dually 4X4.

It had more chrome than a limousine

And the biggest gooseneck I've ever seen

Why he could haul his whole herd and a couple more.

It had captains chairs that would tilt six ways

And lots of little fold out trays

For holding smokes and drinks, and spare change too.

It had more dials than a DC-8,

And the leather interior was sure first rate

And the plush pile carpet on the floor was baby blue.

Now, I'm not envious, but I must confess,

That my old pickup's sure a mess

And I'd like to drive something that still has floor boards.

But with a hundred cows in this economy,

And even used pickups sure aren't free

Don't guess you'll see me in a brand new Ford.

I got to thinkin' 'bout this friend of mine

And I'm happy for him, his new truck's fine

But I think it might be just a bit absurd.

That a feller can ride around all day

Doctorin' calves and haulin' hay

In a truck that's worth more than his whole herd.
