 Yea,  I used to look forward to Saturdays
When  me and my grandpa'd get  way
We'd  hop in his pickup truck  and we'd go to town
We  had a couple chores that we had  to do
It  didn't take long before we  were through
Then  we'd let the pickup truck  just wander around
We'd  make a run to the county dump
 We'd always wave  we saw someone
 Grandpa make up a song  as we rolled along
the  post office without fail
 We get some feed  and we'd check out the mail
 And we never took the same road twice  on the way back home.
I  spent a few years out runnin'  free
I  spent two or three in New  York City
moved  back to Texas tired,  hell I'd had enough
I'd  go to Luckenbach on Saturdays
Cause  Hondo had a way to brighten up  my day
He  always made me laugh  when we rode in his pickup truck
We'd  make a run to the county dump
 We'd always wave  when we saw someone
 Hondo'd make up a tale  as we rolled along
the  post office without fail
 He'd get some chew  and we'd check out the mail
 And we never took the same road twice  on the way back home
Well  I miss grandpa and Hondo  too
I  really miss the things that we  used to do
 So last  week I went out and bought  me an old pickup truck
Now  me and the kids spend Saturdays
We  do fun things in a simple  way
 We love  to start the day with a ride  in the pickup truck
We  make a run to the county dump
 We always wave  if we see someone
 The kids love to make up a song  as we roll along
To  the post office without fail
 We get some stamps  and we check out the mail
 Wnd we never take the same road twice  on the way back home
Half  the fun's gettin' lost  on the way back home
