Well I drove the truck from New York all the way to San Antone

And it's a mighty long haul when you're all alone

But I like drivin' trucks and I make my livin' this way

Well I'm a truck drivin' fool and that's how I'm a gonna stay

I like to hear that diesel as it keeps on a hummin' along

I'm a shiftin' these gears and I'm singin' myself a song

Well I see a lotta country as I go on my way

Yeah I'm a truck drivin' fool and that's how I'm gonna stay

Yeah I'm a truck drivin' fool and trucks have got the best of me

I guess I'll never settle down cause I couldn't stay you see

Cause when I'm drivin' that truck I'm like a schoolboy out to play

Yeah I'm a truck drivin' fool and that's how I'm gonna stay

Once I started to marry a gal in a little country town

But she didn't like my truck so way went around and around

She tried to affect me and that's where she went astray

Cause I'm a truck drivin' fool and that's how I'm gonna stay

I'm a truck drivin' fool and that's how I'm gonna stay
