Lyrics
well i pulled out of georgia with a ten ton load, i'm headin' down the cold stone that black topper road, looked out the window at the sky up above, sat back and i thought of the life that i love, now you can give a banker a nice easy seat, and you can give the sailor all those sea that he meet, but when it comes to drive and just leave that of me, cause i know in my heart it's my destiny, the love of a woman now i'll never see, cause dark nights and city lights keep on calling me, i'm headin' down to florida on this black top road, got a high wide rig with a ten ton load, well i met a lotta people and i seen a lotta towns, but this rig is my palace and the highway's my crown, i'll never give up this truck driving life, for a son to call me daddy or a sweet loving wife, all you people have heard my story when i'm in my cab well i'm in my glory, now it may be hard for some to understand, i was born and i'll die the truck driving man, i was born and i'll die the six wheeler man, i was born and i'll die the truck driving man
