Well I have a few hours to wait while they've loaded my trailer with freight So I borrowed my buddy's old car and drove down to the dance hall and bar Although I just went there to watch when I saw her my heart almost stopped It was my girl in some stranger's arms while the truck driver's waltz played on So drive drive my blues away and think of the love I have lost Somewhere she's gay and the jukebox is playin' The lonesome ole Truck Driver's Waltz Now she doesn't know that I know but wherever my old rig may go I'll recall with each bridge that I cross her love and the truck driver's waltz So drive drive my blues away The lonesome ole Truck Driver's Waltz
