_ Those high-driving truckers, geared jammed in day and night,
have got a real tough job to stand [G] up [Gm]
[G] to.
High-boarding down the highway in a big, long diesel
rig is not a job just anyone [C] can do.
But there's a lot of credit due to a fine group of girls.
They're the truckers' wives who are waiting for [G] their man.
They kiss them goodbye and watch the taillights fade,
so lonely waits until they're [C] home again.
[F] He may be gone three days or maybe two weeks,
[D] and everything is left in [G] our care.
Like paying bills and cutting grass and fixing kids
their meals, I'm the woman behind the man behind [C] the wheel. _

_ This special breed of woman has to share a love affair
with that long stretch of highway [G] on his mind.
But I know that he loves me more than anything.
I'm a trucker's wife, and that's the [C] greatest kind.
And as he sips his coffee, you can bet I'm on his mind
when he's driving down that highway [G] all alone.
And that sleeper cab gets lonely parked at a big truck stop
compared to being in my [C] arms at home.
[F] Now we've sung songs and praises about the trucking [Cm] man,
[D] and they're true, but let's save one [G] little speech
for all the truckers' wives, because after all,
they're the women behind the man behind [C] the wheel. _
