This came from one of Brett's "Kickstarters." He dared us to delve into these words "Pick Up Trucks Are..." and this was what I came up with.

Friday night, got a half tank left
Couple cold ones sweating in an old ice chest
Dust on the tires, sunset glow
Heading nowhere down a backroad
She kicks off her shoes, puts her feet on the dash
Says take it slow, don’t let this pass
We find a spot where the map don’t care
Kill the lights, just open air
Pick up trucks are kinda like a home on wheels
Got a bed in the back where a country boy feels
Pick up trucks are kinda like a home on wheels
Got a bed in the back where a country boy feels
Like a king of the night with her and a beer
My T shirt and her sundress, a crumpled-up beautiful mess
No walls, no secrets, just a moment like this
Stars bearing witness every time we kiss
Ain’t a mansion around with a view like this
Yeah I’ve seen them houses up on top of the hill
With the iron gates and the million-dollar thrills
Crystal chandeliers and a long driveway
But they don’t know a thing about fire fly play
Yeah they got their walls and their locked front doors
Got their perfect life on them tiled floors
But they haven’t heard guitars playin’
Or felt the truck bed move when she leans in
Pickup trucks are kinda like a home on wheels
Got a bed in the back where a country boy feels
Like a king of the night with her and a beer
My T shirt and her sundress
more than just cotton and lycra in a moment like this
No walls, no secrets, just a moment like this
Stars bearing witness every time we kiss
Ain’t a mansion around with a view like this
If this is all I ever own, I guess I’m all set
A little rust on the frame and a little more debt
But I got her laugh and this tailgate view
And a sky full of dreams coming true
You can keep your elevators and your marble floors
Your high rise life and your department stores
I’ll take these tires on a dirt road twist
Yeah heaven don’t get better than this
Pick up trucks are kinda like a home on wheels
Got a bed in the back where a country boy feels
Like a king of the night with her and a beer
My T shirt and Her sundress make a crumpled up beautiful mess
No walls, no secrets, just a moment like this
Stars bearing witness every time we kiss
Nah, there ain’t a mansion around with a view like this…
