Chords

 D                             G
Yea, I used to look forward to Saturdays 

D                        A
When me and my grandpa'd get way 

G                      A                    D     
We'd hop in his pickup truck and we'd go to town 

D                              G
We had a couple chores that we had to do 

D                          A
It didn't take long before we were through 

G                        A                 D  
Then we'd let the pickup truck just wander around 
CHORUS
G                             A
We'd make a run to the county dump 

            D           G
We'd always wave we saw someone        

                  A                 D 
Grandpa make up a song as we rolled along 

G                       A 
the post office without fail 

            D                           G
We get some feed and we'd check out the mail 

                                A                     D
And we never took the same road twice on the way back home. 

D                       G 
I spent a few years out runnin' free 

D                       A
I spent two or three in New York City 

G                    A                  D   
moved back to Texas tired, hell I'd had enough 

D                       G
I'd go to Luckenbach on Saturdays 

D                                 A
Cause Hondo had a way to brighten up my day 

G                 A                                D
He always made me laugh when we rode in his pickup truck 
CHORUS 2
G                             A
We'd make a run to the county dump 

            D                G
We'd always wave when we saw someone 

                  A                 D
Hondo'd make up a tale as we rolled along 

G                       A
the post office without fail 

              D                           G
He'd get some chew and we'd check out the mail 

                                A                     D
And we never took the same road twice on the way back home 

D                       G
Well I miss grandpa and Hondo too 

D                               A
I really miss the things that we used to do 

   G                        A                       D
So last week I went out and bought me an old pickup truck 

D                         G
Now me and the kids spend Saturdays 

D                     A
We do fun things in a simple way 

    G                           A                  D
We love to start the day with a ride in the pickup truck 
CHORUS 3
G                           A
We make a run to the county dump 

          D              G
We always wave if we see someone 

                           A               D
The kids love to make up a song as we roll along 

G                          A
To the post office without fail 

            D                           G
We get some stamps and we check out the mail 

                                A                     D
Wnd we never take the same road twice on the way back home 

G                      A                    D
Half the fun's gettin' lost on the way back home
