Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Slush out on the open road Snow stickin’ to my load Ain’t much a man can do But hold it straight and see it through Windshield wipers keepin’ time With that diesel engine whine If I wanna see the sun I gotta keep these wheels a-run Chorus It’s all part of truckin’ Just the way of life Cold steel rollin’ Through the dark of night From the road sign at the county line Under them big sky lights It’s all part of truckin’ Just the way of life Verse 2 CB crackles soft and low Heard there’s ice on down the road Coffee in a truck stop mug A tired man don’t dare give up Got a woman waitin’ home In a house I barely know Every mile I leave behind Is another dollar on my mind Chorus It’s all part of truckin’ Just the way of life Cold steel rollin’ Through the dark of night From the road sign at the county line Under them big sky lights It’s all part of truckin’ Just the way of life Bridge Some men punch a clock at noon Some men sleep beneath the moon Me, I chase that dotted line With eighteen wheels and borrowed time Final Chorus (lift slightly) It’s all part of truckin’ Call it sacrifice Steel and snow and brake-light glow And miles I can’t think twice If the good Lord keeps me rollin’ I’ll be just fine ‘Cause it’s all part of truckin’ This way of life is mine Outro (Fading) It’s all part of truckin’ It’s all part of truckin’ It’s all part of …. truckin’
