I’ve seen the wheatfields of Kansas
The green mountains of Tennessee
I’m loaded with freight from the New England States
Headed west to the Pacific Sea

I’m changing gears and picking up speed
I got a long way to go
Got to get there today, can’t wait for tomorrow
Got freight, gotta unload

I glance at my watch and I’m runnin’ late
Seems I’m always chasing time
I’m gonna send this old diesel hurtlin’ down the road
To chase the little white line

(chorus)
13 gears and 18 wheels
A big old cab I call my home
Yeah, I’m trucker and I’m
Truckin’ on

I’ve been from Canada to Mexica
And all the places in between
I’ve seen the Statue of Liberty
I’ve driven the wide open plains

Been to the steel mills of Pennsylvania
All the way to the Jersey shore
Been loaded with oranges from the Sunshine State
Sent me back for more

I’ve been called the last pioneer
That travels these roads today
All I know is that I’m
A Country boy driving truck to earn his pay

And every time I hammer this old diesel down
I know this is where I’m gonna stay

(chorus)


Been to the Port of New Orleans
And let me tell you mister
They gave me one heck-u-va load
Got to be in Amarillo by morning
Look out brother
Rubber is gonna hit the road

I flip the ignition and the engine is hummin’
Every trucker loves to hear that sound
I am changing gears, and the wheels are rolling
Time to leave this Bayou town

My friends are all waving and smiling,
Because they know it will be a while
Before this old country boy
Comes back around

(Chorus)

Truckin' On

About Me

Bio

I grew up in the country listening to country music. I like country music because it tells a story and connects emotionally with the listener. Inspiration for my lyrics, come from personal experiences and observations. In addition to writing lyrics, I am also a novelist and have written and published five books. The written word is a powerful tool, and when used properly can inspire, motivate, and create an incredible atmosphere of hope. I want my lyrics to inspire others to achieve the dreams they hold or to evaluate their life and change. Every journey begins with a single step and this is to true of the lives we live.
