Lyric Truck Driver, Truck Driver

(Shel Silverstein)

Truck driver, truck driver stop your Diamond T
Do you have room inside your rig for a highway bum like me
Hey, thank you very much
Don t suppose you could sorta scoot over a little bit
And give me a little more room cause I got long legs
And it s a long way to where I m goin .

Truck driver, truck driver let your diesel roll
Now do you have one cigarette for a man who s wet and cold
Yeah, thank you very much.
Ah, I don t reckon you got one of those filter tips instead
I don t really like them regular cigarettes
It s bad for your lungs you know what I mean
And it s a long way to where I m goin .

Truck driver, truck driver lemme ask you one thing more
If I can t sleep in your sleeper cab can I sleep on your trailer floor
Thank you very much
I don t suppose I could sorta borrow your jacket
To kinda cover up and get warm with
Cause I m cold and it s a long way to where I m goin .

Truck driver, truck driver I see in that plastic frame
A picture of a sexy blonde and you know that s my kind of dame
Man, I d really like to grab onto your wife huh
Well, it s a long way to where I m goin . oh yeah.

Truck driver, truck driver thank you for the ride
Now if you lend me a dollar and half I ll move on down the line
Well, I ain t no need to get mad about
Some folks don t never do nothin to nobody
And I ain t gonna rob you no more
Yeah Mister, you sure got a good lookin old lady
Like to get ahold o her...
