[Verse 1]
Four a.m., the rooster’s crowin’,
I’m hitchin’ up, my rig is groanin’.
The highway calls, my coffee’s strong,
Another mile, another dawn.
Feed mineral packed, for cattle and swine,
Rollin’ hard, on borrowed time.
[Chorus]
Haulin’ heavy loads, down the county line,
Dust and diesel mix with the morning shine.
Through rain, through snow, I toe the line,
Feedin’ the herds, keepin’ ‘em fine.
Haulin’ heavy loads, this life is mine.
[Verse 2]
Backroads twist like a serpent’s spine,
Gravel flies, I’m racin’ time.
A barn in sight, they wave me in,
Unloadin’ fast, then I’m gone again.
Every ton I pull, every mile I grind,
Keeps the farm folks’ dreams alive.
[Prechorus]
The engine hums, the tires moan,
A trucker’s heart is made of stone.
[Chorus]
Haulin’ heavy loads, down the county line,
Dust and diesel mix with the morning shine.
Through rain, through snow, I toe the line,
Feedin’ the herds, keepin’ ‘em fine.
Haulin’ heavy loads, this life is mine.
[Bridge]
Radio crackles, another call,
“Need that feed, before nightfall.”
A thousand pounds, a million dreams,
This truck rolls on, through endless streams.
