Hello I'm a truck 

You've heard songs about truck drivers many times their stories told 

How they pulled out of Pittsburg for six days on the road 

Bout the Feather River Canyon and climbin' the old grapevine 

That old roadhouse down in Texas and the girls they've left behind 

You've heard their tales of daring and I think that's just fine 

But if you can spare a minute well I'd like to tell you mine 

There'd be no truck drivers if it wasn't for us trucks 

No double clutching gear jaming coffee drinking nuts 

They'll drive their way to glory and they have all the luck 

There'd be no truck drivers if it wasn't for us trucks 

Well there he sits in that cafe drinking coffee and telling lies 

Prob'ly telling 'em how to talk that hill ten miles back 

How telling 'em how he missed a gear and that Volkswagen full of hippies 

Passed us like I was sitting up on jacks or how we took that curve over on 66 

Han't-a been for me hanging on the shoulder we'd both wound up in the ditch 

If we're on time he takes the credit if we're late I get the blame 

Up those hills with shutters open my stacks are running flame 

My stack a running red light sucking diesel from the tanks 

I take him south and bring him back without a word of thanks 

So now you've heard my story and I guess it's my tough luck 

There'd be no truck drivers if it wadn't for us trucks 

There'd be no truck drivers... 

Look at him sipping coffee and flirtin' with that waitress 

And where do you think he left me that's right next to cattle truck (mooo) 

Why couldn't we have put me next to that little pink mack sittin' over there 

Gosh she's got pretty mud flaps and talk about stracked 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 that fixed him I never did like the way he drives anyhow 

Thainks he's God's gift to waitresses he never gives 'em a tip 

Well I know what he's gonna do now he's gonna take out 

The tape cartridge of Back Owens and play it again 

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