Lyrics

Truckdriver

I'm an American truckdriver
A sailor on a concrete sea
Six days on the road
Movin' on is the only life for me
I got that white line fever in my blood
Yeah I'm driving my life away
Climbing slow
Then I let `er roll
Down the road
With a heavy load
A cup of joe
And here I go
Down that lost highway

And I can put this truck through places
You wouldn't drive a car
What's more I can do it backwards
In the daylight or the dark
Don't need forty acres to turn around
I can do it on a dime
And no matter where I'm going
I always make it there on time

Two million miles and counting
And almost fifteen years
Eighteen wheels a rollin'
I keep on trucking and jammin' them gears
I know these roads like Rand McNally
`Cause I've driven every one
Through rain and snow
Heat and cold
Icy roads
And tornados
In the diesel smoke
But don't you know
That ain't the half of what I've done
