Trucker Man

(album: Son Of A Preacher Man - 2009)

He's got a sunburn on his left arm
From hanging out a Peterbilt window
Got a wife and three kids on the farm
Driving just as fast as he can go, yeah

Minneapolis in his rear view
He's a dead heading to Tulsa
Got the hammer down on 82
With every mile marker getting' closer, I said

Hey, he's a trucker man
Trying to get home just as fast as he can
Those redeye runs are taking their toll
His eighteen wheeler is a rolling back home

Staring a hole through the windshield
He's got nineteen on the CB wheel
They call him the Bandit
'Cause he only brakes for the Smokies, I said

Hey, he's a trucker man
Trying to get home just as fast as he can
Those redeye runs are taking their toll
His eighteen wheeler is a rolling back home

He's got a Smith and Wesson in the glove box
And Mother Mary on the dashboard
He's a red blooded, blue collar man
American right to the core

Hey, he's a trucker man
Trying to get home just as fast as he can
Those redeye runs are taking their toll
His eighteen wheeler is a rolling back home

Say it, hey, he's a trucker man
Trying to get home just as fast as he can
Those redeye runs are taking their toll
His eighteen wheeler is a rolling back home
Well, he's rolling back home
