[G] Hello, I'm a [E] truck.
[F#] [A]
You've heard songs about truck drivers [F#m] many times or story told
How [B] they pulled out of Pittsburgh [E] for six days on the road [A] about that Feather River Canyon
[F#m] And a climbing that old grapevine that [B] old roadhouse down in Texas and [E] the girls they left behind
[A] You've heard their tales of daring [F#m] and I think that's just fine
[D] But if you could [A] spare a minute, I'd [E] like to [A] tell you mine
[D] There'd be no truck drivers [A] if it wasn't for us trust
[E] No double clutching gear jamming [A] coffee drinking nuts
[D] They drive their way of glory [A] and they have all the luck
There'd be no truck drivers [F#m] if it wasn't [E] for us [A] trust
[F#m] Well, there he sits in that clay drinking coffee and telling lies
Probably tell them about that hill we top ten miles back
Or tell him how he missed the gear and that Volkswagen bus full of hippies passed us like I was sitting up on jacks
How he missed that curve over on 66
Hadn't been me hanging on the shoulder
Well, we had a both wound up in the ditch
[A] We're on time.
He takes the credit and if [F#m] we're late I get blamed up [B] those hills the shutters open
My [E] stacks are running flame [A] my tackle running redline second [F#m] diesel from the tanks
[B] I'm taking south bring him back [E] without a word of thanks
Well [A] now you've heard my story and [F#m] I guess it's my tough luck
[D] There'd be no [A] truck drivers if it [E] wasn't for [A] us trust
[D] There'd be no truck drivers if it [A] wasn't for us trust
No [E] double clutching gear jamming [A] coffee drinking nuts
[D] They drive their way of glory [A] and they have all the luck
There'd be no truck drivers [D] if it [E] wasn't [A] for us trust
[F#m] Look at him sipping coffee flirting with that waitress
And where do you think he left me?
That's right next to cattle truck
My goodness put me over next to that little pink Mac gosh, she's got a pretty mudflaps
Talk about stack
They're both groans
Well, he'll be coming out in a minute.
He'll get that bar and he'll go around and beat on my tires
You know for two pounds of diesel.
Well, I'd have a flat on the inside do
Boy, that would fix I never did like the way he drives anyhow
Thank you.
God's gift of waitresses
Never gives me tips
Well, I know what he's gonna do now make out that tape cartridge my phones and play it again I
Don't know why you don't get a Merle Hager tape
