I drove a big old truck from Mississippi all the way cross country to Frisco

I got another load then I was on my way again back to where that Mississippi flows

I like to hear that rhythm as that motor purrs along

And them big wheels a keep rollin' clear and free

I'd rather drive a truck than to be a millionaire it's the only life for me

Cause my grandpa drove a mule train and my pa a riverboat

And I just a like a them I'm gonna see lots of land

My grandpa drove a mule train and my pa a riverboat

I'm just like them I'm a motivatin' man

I met a pretty girl while down in Dallas I thought that we would marry up 

But I lost my nerve when we got to the church

And I climbed back aboard my old truck

For I got to thinkin' things over married life is not for me I'm sure

I don't want a woman to tell me that I can't drive my truck anymore

Cause my grandpa drove a mule train...

I'm just like them I'm a motivatin' man
