400 miles of open road Back truck cab with a Jennied load Awful life to pass See the black smoke rollin' back 30 fewer miles I have to go Drinkin' black coffee and takin' pills I've got to stay awake through these hills Downgrade up ahead Don't brake try dirt instead Stop again for fuel in Baton Rouge I'm a truck drivin' man That's what I am Truck drivin' man I'm a truck drivin' man That's what I am Truck drivin' man And I got to know the waitress in that cafe I honk my horn and watch to see her wave I love her when I can But I'm a truck drivin' man The highway is the only home I know I'm a truck drivin' man That's what I am Truck drivin' man I'm a truck drivin' man That's what I am Truck drivin' man And in two more hours I'll be home Turn this rig around and out I go Weight scales up ahead If they stop us boy, we're dead I've got 600 pounds of overload I'm a truck drivin' man That's what I am Truck drivin' man I'm a truck drivin' man That's what I am Truck drivin' man Man made a truck Lord made a man Lord made me a truck drivin' man Truck-a truck-a truck-a truck-a truck-a truck-a truck-a drivin' man That's what I am Lord made me a truck drivin' man
