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’
