She's always waitin' with two loving arms when I get home

She tells me that she's lonely every minute while I'm gone

She keeps begging me to quit this road but I can't quit that's true

Cause I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do

Well I would like to work in town but I can't I'm afraid

Cause you can't get a job in town unless you gotta trade

And the only trade I know is drivin' this old truck that's true

Cause I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do

Born to be a trucker drivin' this old truck across the nation

Born to be a trucker that's my only occupation

I guess I'll keep on driving these old trucks till I get old

Cause it's the only way of livin' this poor boy knows

Well I could have been a business man if I just gone to school

But I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do

[ steel ]

Born to be a trucker...

I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do
