Pick Her Up
Hot Country Knights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you finally got the nerve
To ask that little girl
You've been diggin' on
If she wants to go out and she said yes
Now you're wantin' impress
But you ain't got no Casanova knowhow
You ain't gotta read a book to
Get her on the hook
She's a country baby through and through
If you wanna do her right on a Saturday night
This is all you've gotta do

Pick her up in a pickup truck
And take her out to a honky tonk
Turn an ice cold longneck up
Dance around to an old jukebox
If you really wanna rock the world
Of a pretty little country girl
Just know when you pick her up
Pick her up in a pickup truck
(Ain't that right, Travis?)

Yeah, buddy, she ain't got no use for a BMW
Or wine from a hundred dollar bottle
She'd rather bounce around in
The outskirts of town
Shotgunnin' in a muddy Silverado
If you're gonna have a chance
To closin' time romance
Put the switch on the neon hard
Don't you forget the first step 'fore
You get to two steps
Knowin' right where to start

Pick her up in a pickup truck
And take her out to a honky tonk
Turn an ice cold longneck up
Dance around to an old jukebox
If you really wanna rock the world
Of a pretty little country girl
Just know when you pick her up
Pick her up in a pickup truck

Go get her son! Woo! yeah!

She wants to party and paint the town
Kick up her boots to a country sound
Come on, buddy, don't let us down

Pick her up in a pickup truck
And take her out to a honky tonk
Turn an ice cold longneck up
Dance around to an old jukebox
If you really wanna rock the world
Of a pretty little country girl
Just know when you pick her up
Pick her up in a pickup truck




You might even make her fall in love
Pick her up in a pickup truck

Cheering the person on to go get the girl

She wants to have fun and go out


Kick up her boots to a country sound
Dancing in cowboy boots to country music


Come on, buddy, don't let us down
Encouraging the person to not disappoint them or the girl


You might even make her fall in love
You could win her heart over

I love how dirks bentley is doing this as a joke, and it’s better than half the country artists on mainstream right now.

54raceman

Hunter Niemi ikr leave it to dierks lol

Roger Lawton

It’s also better than anything he’s ever done. It’s his first actual country album.

Hunter Niemi

Clint Allen I wouldn’t go as far to say that, but I do like this better than most of his other stuff. Reminds me of “what was I thinkin?”

Darin Fry

Lol. I didnt make the connection this was dirks at first lol. Ps so great to hear tritt again! One of the greatest underappreciated talents in country ever imo

Hunter Niemi

Darin Fry I completely agree. I’ve grown to kiss people like Travis, becuase they just aren’t around anymore. But, I’m glad this is beginning to change with guys like Luke combs, Jon Pardi , Chris Stapleton, etc
