_ _ I leave Pittsburgh with a load of steel Nobody knows just how I feel
With the road up ahead and my baby behind Keeps me [D] driving with a worried [Eb] mind
[Bb] Floatsome truck [Eb] drivers blue _ _ [Ab] _ Floatsome truck [Eb] drivers blue
_ [Ab] With the road up ahead and my baby behind [Eb] It leaves me with a worried [D] mind
[Bb] Floatsome truck [Eb] drivers blue _ If you haul too light you can't make a dime
And if you haul too heavy then you get a fine Look at them lined up down the road
I guess I'd better dump my load [Bb] Floatsome truck [Eb] drivers blue

_ _ [E] Well it's coffee and cakes or pork and beans Black eyed peas or turnip greens
I turn on my radio to keep awake And I hear a moon on the 88
_ Floatsome truck drivers blue _ _ [A] _ Floatsome truck [E] drivers blue
_ [A] I ain't sailing my ship alone [E] For my baby's waiting for me at home
_ Floatsome truck drivers blue _ _ [F] Oh the motor is a-purring
I'm a-making time It's taking me back to that baby of mine
She'll be purring like a kitten when I walk in the door
I won't sing the truck drivers blues no more Floatsome truck drivers blue
_ _ _ Floatsome truck drivers blue _ _ [Bb] With the road up ahead and my baby behind
[F] There's over the hills the big wheels grind _ Floatsome truck drivers blue _ _ _ _ _ _ _
