Truck Driving Man - The Wood Brothers

I stopped at a roadhouse in Texas It was a little place called Hamburger Dan's And I heard that old jukebox a-playin' A song about a truck drivin' man Pour me another cup of coffee For it is the best in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox And play The Truck Drivin' Man The waitress just brought me some coffee I thanked her but called her again I said, "That ol' song sure does fit me" "'Cause I am a truck drivin' man" Pour me another cup of coffee For it is the best in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox And play The Truck Drivin' Man I climbed back on board my old semi And then like a flash I was gone I got them ol' truck wheels a-rollin I'm on my way to San Antone Pour me another cup of coffee For it is the best in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox And play The Truck Drivin' Man And play The Truck Drivin' Man

He's a drug store truck drivin' man He's a head of the Ku Klux Klan When summer rolls around He'll be lucky if he's not in town Well he's got him a house on the hill He plays country records Till you've had your fill He's a fireman's friend He's an all night DJ But he sure does think different From the records he plays He's a drug store truck drivin' man He's a head of the Ku Klux Klan When summer rolls around He'll be lucky if he's not in town Well he don't like the young folks I know He told me one night on his radio show He's got him a medal he won in the war Weighs five hundred pounds And he sleeps on his floor He's a drug store truck drivin' man He's a head of the Ku Klux Klan When summer rolls around He'll be lucky if he's not in town He's been like a father to me He's the only DJ you can hear after three I'm an all night musician in a rock 'n' roll band And why he don't like me, I can't understand He's a drug store truck drivin' man He's a head of the Ku Klux Klan When summer rolls around He'll be lucky if he's not in town He'll be lucky if he's not in town (This one's for you, Ralph)

Fell Well, I stopped at a road house in Texas A little place called Hamburger Dan's Heard that old jukebox start playin' A tune called the truck drivin' man The waitress then brought me up some coffee I thanked her then called her again I said that old song sure does fit me Cause I'm a truck drivin' man Pour me another cup of coffee For it is the best in the land And put a nickel in the jukebox And play the Truck Drivin' Man Well, I climbed back aboard my old semi And then like a flash I was gone I got them old truck wheels a rollin' Now, I'm on my way to San Antone When I get my call up to glory They will take me away from this land I'll head this truck up to heaven Cause' I'm a Truck Drivin' Man Pour me another cup of coffee For it is the best in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox And play that Truck Drivin' Man And play that Truck Drivin' Man

You never smiled at my opening line If I remember it right well you might have been cyrin' I didn't know you but I thought it was time You didn't ask to know what I was thinkin' I know it was late and I might have been drinkin' When my passion welled up And I readied my aim I didn't know my own name I was loaded, loaded I have to say I was loaded You shied away but I hunted you down The truth is a bully and it'll slap you around I know it can be A pretty rough ride When my true heart's kickin' my side I was loaded, loaded Proud to say I was laded Sometimes the tip of my tongue Is the barrel of a gun And it's loaded All alone on my knee with my dreams of the past But my aim is till true and my draw is still fast My heart pulls the trigger It doesn't wait Who wants a heart that hesitates I was laded, loaded Have to say I was loaded Sometimes the tip of my tongue is the barrel of a gun And it's loaded Yeah the tip of my tongue Is the barrel of a gun And it's loaded

When I step off of that train I better sit down and wait Cause a soul can't travel that fast The best part of me will surely be late Cause a soul can't travel that fast A soul's gotta walk Like a pilgrim he stops To smell every flower on the path I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast When I get off of the road And I'm thinkin' I'm home I try to remember to remember When I'm holdin' my baby But I'm leaving her cold It's all cause a soul can't travel that fast Well a soul takes it's time Like a pilgrim he's tryin' To find him some peace that's gonna last I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast If I'm runnin' or I'm flyin' And I'm losin' my mind Take my foot off of the gas Let the other fools pass A soul takes it slow Like a pilgrim he knows He's gonna get where he's goin' If he just stays on the path I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast I better slow down Cause a soul can't Travel that fast Travel that fast

Wastin' my mind on you. Wastin' my mind on you. Makes my head spin, Where does your love begin and end There's no answer, To the questions I keep askin' you. Look at me like I'm a fool. Wastin' my mind on you. Wastin' my mind on you. Wishin' my heart would've thought things through. Wastin' my mind on you. Sweet confusion, Always changin' your point of view. A fine illusion, Keeps me hangin' on to find the truth. Look at me I'm such a fool. Look at the fool. Follow true. Yeah, look at the fool. Wastin' my mind on you. Wastin' my mind on you. Wishin' my heart would've thought things through. Well I'm wastin' my mind... Wastin' my mind on you. Took out the fool.
