Livin' Like A Trucker Lyrics - Tattoo - Rory Gallagher

Well I've been livin' like a trucker 

For a month or more 

Well, I'm steaming like diesel 

That cannot feel it's throat 

Well, I'm closing all the windows 

Keeping out the rain 

But I'm not complaining 

In fact, I'd do it all again 

I'm a ramblin' man 

Cannot stop a travelin' man 

I've been singing for my supper 

But I never get to eat 

Well, I queue up at the diner 

But I cannot find a seat 

Well, I've been livin' like a gypsy 

Feeling like a king 

Really feel like singin', you know 

That's the mood I'm in 

I'm a ramblin' man 

Some kind of travelin' man 

You'll never catch me working 9 to 5 

That's for some people, but me, I wanna ride 

All around the world, to the planet's end 

I've seen some places, but more, I ain't seen yet, yeah 

Lose an hour, gain an hour 

Somewhere on a map 

Flying through the time zone 

Another plane to catch 

Why, I've always gotta see 

What's on the other side 

So I pack my bag, get on my way 

And catch my train and ride 

I've been livin' like a hawker 

In days, both hot and cold 

Well, I'm sleeping if I have to 

Before the wagons roll 

Well, I've been hopin' and I've been prayin 

Since I was last here 

Tell your mama not to worry 

Come on, baby, get on up here 

I'm a ramblin' man 

Some kind of travelin' man 

Well, I've been livin' like a trucker 

For a month or more 

Well, I'm steaming like diesel 

That cannot feel it's throat 

Well, I'm closing all the windows 

Keeping out the rain 

But you won't hear me complaining 

In fact, I'd do it all again 

I'm a travelin' man 

Some kind of ramblin' man 

Yes, I'd do it all again 

I'd do it all again, baby 

Travelin' man, travelin' man 

Yeah
