Lyrics for Song: Truck Driver, Truck Driver
Lyrics for Album: Hard Times Hungrys [RCA Victor] [1975]
(Shel Silverstein)
Truck driver, truck driver stop your Diamond T
Do you have room inside your rig for a highway bum like me
Hey, thank you very much
Don't suppose you could sorta scoot over a little bit
And give me a little more room 'cause I got long legs
And it's a long way to where I'm goin'.
Truck driver, truck driver let your diesel roll
Now do you have one cigarette for a man who's wet and cold
Yeah, thank you very much.
Ah, I don't reckon you got one of those filter tips instead
I don't really like them regular cigarettes
It's bad for your lungs you know what I mean
And it's a long way to where I'm goin'.
Truck driver, truck driver lemme ask you one thing more
If I can't sleep in your sleeper cab can I sleep on your trailer floor
Thank you very much
I don't suppose I could sorta borrow your jacket
To kinda cover up and get warm with
'Cause I'm cold and it's a long way to where I'm goin'.
Truck driver, truck driver I see in that plastic frame
A picture of a sexy blonde and you know that's my kind of dame
Man, I'd really like to grab onto your wife huh
Well, it's a long way to where I'm goin'. oh yeah.
Truck driver, truck driver thank you for the ride
Now if you lend me a dollar and half I'll move on down the line
Well, I ain't no need to get mad about
Some folks don't never do nothin' to nobody
And I ain't gonna rob you no more
Yeah Mister, you sure got a good lookin' old lady
Like to get ahold o'her...
