BRUCE COCKBURN WITH A TWIST
-- If I Had A Brand New Pickup --
Index



Rewrite of "If I Had A Rocket Launcher," by Mike Fedel

Here come the boys with Chevy's
Second time today
All the girls giggle
And put their books away
I'm here in my VW
1968

If I had a brand new pickup
If I had a brand new pickup
If I had a brand new pickup
I'd finally get a date

Aqueduct outside of town
About a thousand wait
To see the boys play chicken
Burning rubber, driving straight
Cry for last week's winner
Thanks to Duke, he's got no brakes

If I had a brand new pickup
If I had a brand new pickup
If I had a brand new pickup
I'd stay out real late

I've gotta raise a little cash
Trade in my bug for a new ride
Get myself a shiny gun rack
They'll all drool as I drive by
Testosterone is rising
I see myself riding high!

If I had a brand new pickup
If I had a brand new pickup
If I had a brand new pickup
I'd be a real bitchin' guy!
