Pickup Man
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Pickup Man" is a song by country singer Joe Diffie.
The song is about a man who reasons he can meet the woman of his dreams by driving a pickup truck. At one point, he is able to secure a ride for a high school homecoming queen.
The term, "pickup man" has a double meaning, in not only that the song's main character drives a pickup, but that he is also a hit with the ladies as the result of his transportation choice.
"Pickup Man" was released in the fall of 1994, and quickly became his signature song. The song became his third No. 1 hit on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles & Tracks that December, eventually spending four weeks atop the charts.
The lyrics of "Pickup Man" were later modified to promote Applebee's carside-to-go service.
