Truck Driver, Truck Driver

(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...
