Rollin' out before sunrise coffee in my hand
Ain't no promises ahead in this land
Every mile a challenge every town a test
But it's the life I chose I reckon it's the best
Dispatch on the radio got another load
Gotta hit the highway gotta hit the road
Patches on the blacktop patches on my soul
In this worn-down cab I struggle reaching for my goal
Getting trucked taking loads
(So hard)
Down these endless dusty roads
Promises broken tales untold
But I keep getting trucked heart and soul
Saw a diner up ahead shining in the night
Hoped for some rest maybe some respite
But the waitress said Sorry hon we're out of pie
Tipped my hat tried to hide the tear in my eye
Overloaded trailers overloaded mind
Thought I'd find freedom leave the grind behind
Dispatch on me again for following to close
What could be next no one knows!!
But the engine sputters tank's runnin' dry
Still I push ahead cuz when you're gettin trucked you better not cry
Getting trucked taking loads
(So hard)
Down these endless dusty roads
Promises broken tales untold
But I keep getting trucked heart and soul
(A wise man once told me you know what they say about work It ain't going to to do itself So take that load get in that truck and goooo)
Getting trucked taking loads
