Truckers Life

Trucker's Life

Verse 1

Everything is moved by truck in this great land of ours

From the heavy steel to your next meal, we drive for hours and hours

If you got it, then a trucker brought it, rolling through the night

Yeah, everything you see is delivered by a trucker's life

Chorus

'Cause I was born to be a trucker, rolling down the highway white lines

Cruising through the byways, leaving all the rest behind

It ain't no nine-to-five, it’s a twenty-four-seven drive

A thousand miles from home—that’s a trucker's life

Verse 2

Just a lonely stretch of highway, running underneath the stars

Chasing down this southern road and counting passing cars

Take me home, you old Peterbilt, I'm longing for my sweetheart

But I'm shifting through the gears, chasing dawn down every street

Verse 3

Behind the wheel on starry nights, I’m singing hymns of praise

Thanking God for early light and guiding all my days

I pray the Lord will keep me safe and keep my eyes awake

To drop this cargo in the morn' with every mile I take

Verse 4

I’m hauling back to you, my darling , I'm burning up the highway

Can't wait to hold you in my arms, the second I get back

Lord knows I missed you every mile, but I gotta roll again

Just a few days' rest, then back to where the highway has no end such is a Trucker’s Life

Chorus

'Cause I was born to be a trucker, rolling down the highway white lines

Cruising through the byways, leaving all the rest behind

It ain't no nine-to-five, it’s a twenty-four-seven drive

A thousand miles from home—that’s a trucker's life-that’s a trucker’s life
