I'm A Truck" Lyrics - Singles - Red Simpson

Hello, I'm a Truck 

You've heard songs about truck drivers 

Em 

many times their story's told 

How they pulled out of Pittsburg 

for six days on the road 

'Bout that feather river canyon 

Em 

and a-climbing' that ol grapevine 

That old roadhouse down in Texas 

and the girls they left behind 

You've heard their tales of daring 

Em 

and I think that's just fine 

but if you could spare a minute 

D G 

well I'd like to tell you mine 

 

Chorus: 

G C G 

There'd be no truck driver's if it wasn't 

 

for us trucks 

D G 

no double-clutching gear jammin' coffee 

 

drinking nuts 

C G 

they'll drive their way to glory and they 

 

have all the luck 

there'd be no truck drivers if it wasn't 

D G 

for us trucks 

Em 

Spoken: 

 

Well there he sits in that cafe drinkin coffee and tellin lies 

Prob'ly telling 'em 'bout that hill we topped ten miles back 

Otta tell'em how he missed a gear and that Volkswagon bus full of 

Hippies passed us like I was sittin' up on jacks 

Or how we took that curve over on 66 

Hadn'y been for me hangin on the shoulder 

We'd a both wound up in the ditch 

 

If we're on time he takes the credit 

Em 

'n if we're late I get the blame 

Up those hills with shutters open 

My stacks a-runnin' flame 

My tach' runnin red-line 

Em 

sippin' diesel from the tanks 

I'll take him south and bring him back 

without a word of thanks 

G Em 

Well now you've heard my story and I guess 

 

it's my tough luck 

C D 

There'd be no truck drivers if it wasn't 

for us trucks 

 

Chorus: 

 

Em 

Spoken: 

 

Look at him sippin' coffee and flirting with that waitress 

And where do you think he left me? 

That's right, next to a cattle truck (moo) 

Why couldn't he have put me over there next to that little pink Mack? 

Gosh she's got pretty mud-flaps 

And talk about stacked, they're both chromed 

Well he'll be coming out in a minute and he'll get that bar and he'll go around and beat on my tires 

You know for two pints of diesel 

I'd have a flat on the inside dual 

Ha! Boy that'd fix him 

I never did like the way he drives anyhow 

Thinks he's God's gift of waitresses 

He never gives 'em a tip 

Well I know what he's going to do now 

Take out that tape cartidge of Buck Owens and play it again 

I don't know why he don't get a Merle Haggard tape....
