  			Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man 
Roger McGuinn, Gram Parsons 
 
 
       A                        E 
He's a drug store truck drivin' man 
E                            A 
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan 
A                  D 
When summer rolls around 
D        E                    A 
He'll be lucky if he's not in town 
 
           A                      E 
Well, he's got him a house on the hill 
E                             D               A 
He plays country records till you've had your fill 
A                               D 
He's a fireman's friend he's an all night DJ 
D      E                                  D          A 
But he sure does think different from the records he plays 
 
CHORUS 
 
Well, he don't like the young folks I know 
He told me one night on his radio show 
He's got him a medal he won in the War 
It weighs five-hundred pounds and it sleeps on his floor 
 
CHORUS 
 
He's been like a father to me 
He's the only DJ you can hear after three 
I'm an all night musician in a rock and roll band 
And why he don't like me I can't understand 
 
CHORUS 
 
He'll be lucky if he's not in town 
 
(spoken:) this one's for you, Ralph.
