Well I asked an old truckdriver about life out on the road
If he does a lotta singing when he´s bringing in his load
If there´s a pretty waitress crying for him every hundred miles

If he gets a lotta loving if he has a lot of smiles
And I asked him if those trucking songs tell about a life like his
He said if you want to know the truth about it here´s the way it is
All I do is drive drive drive try to stay alive
And keep my mind on my load keep my eye upon the road
I got nothin´ in common with any man who´s home every day at five
All I do is drive drive drive drive drive drive
[Guitar solo)
Well we shared a cup of coffee then I had to warm it up
And his greasy fingers trembled as he held onto the cup
And I said don´t you hear a lot of music see a lot of sights

But if you´ll tune into the Grand Ol´ Opry Saturday night
I will dedicate you a trucking song to which you can relate
He said you just do the singing and I´ll do the driving mate
All I do is drive drive drive try to stay alive
And keep my mind on my load keep my eye upon the road
I got nothin´ in common with any man who´s home every day at five
All I do is drive drive drive drive drive drive.....
