Long Haul Truck Driver
I know a young truck driver
Makes his living on long haul loads
Like a nineteenth-century cowboy
He lives out on the road
His truck is his workplace
His apartment is the same
In a different place every night
Where no one knows his name
His life is so entwined with work
It’s a lifestyle, not a job
Work and leisure time
Are as close as corn and cob
And free time, when he gets it
Comes with truck attached
Can’t park that truck just anywhere
So, many opportunities get scratched
He needs some personal time
And weekends off now and then
Spending all his time in a truck
Like being cooped up in a pen
He is dealing with the life
Because the money is pretty good
But he knows that this lifestyle
Wouldn’t even sell in Hollywood
It’s time to change his profession
But trucking is in his blood
Cross your fingers, knock on wood
