TRUCK DRIVING MAN Sung by: Seth Mize Recorded in Mountain View, AR by George Fisher Click here to listen to the original recording A place called Hamburger Dan's. That old jukebox was playing A tune called 'Truck Driving Man.' The waitress, she brought me a cup of coffee. I thanked her, and I called her back again. I said, “That old tune just suits me. I am a truck driving man.” I ordered another cup of coffee, The best that's in the land, Dropped a nickel in the jukebox And played ‘The Truck Driving Man.' I climbed aboard my old semi, And like a flash, and I was gone. Got those big wheels a-rolling On my way to San Anton. When I am called up to glory, When I am called to leave this land, I’ll drive this old truck up towards heaven, For I am a truck driving man. I ordered another cup of coffee, The best that’s in the land. I dropped a nickel in the jukebox And played ‘The Truck Driving Man.’ |
