C                                  F     Am  C 
Drive on up , baby mamma won't you drive on up  
       F 
To the soft boys tall  
    C 
For rich or for poor  
        G 
In your granddads pick up truck  
 
C                                    F       Am      C 
Drive on up , honey baby through the timbers and the fog  
       F                   C                G               C 
Ill be sitting here in the sunlight on that same old hollow log  
 
       G 
Well I made my money honey on the road  
        F 
Id been down on the trail with a heavy load  
    G 
You bounce all around like a bumble bee  
            F                                   Dm 
So wont you come on up here and take a look and see  
 
So drive on up , honey mamma wont you drive on up  
Till the soft boys tall  
For rich or for poor  
In your granddads pick up truck 
 
Your mamma, she ain't here no more  
And your brother well he's in jail 
So wont you drive on up and see me girl cause you got nothin left to sell  
 
Well I made my money honey on the road  
Id been down on the trail with a heavy load  
Bounce all around like a bumble bee  
And now I see your headlights comin through those trees  
 
So let's drive on down to the city baby drive on down  
Where the lights shine on the lake oh mamma and the kids go round and round  
We'll drink a toast to the southern past to the gravestones on the hill  
To the love we've had and the love we lost and the love wee got still  
 
Solo  
 
So step on up and let your hair down  
We'll be running from the law when the sun goes down  
Paint your lips red and your blue eyes brown  
Baby come on up so we can drive on down  
 
Drive on up , baby momma won't you drive on up  
 
Till the soft boys tall  
For rich or for poor  
In your granddads pick up truck  
 
Your mamma, she ain't here no more  
And your brother well hes in jail 
So wont you drive on up and see me girl cause you got nothin left to sell  
Oh you got nothin left to sell  
You got nothin left to sell
