HELLO I'M A TRUCK (Bob Stanton) « © '71 Central
Songs, BMI »

Hello I'm a truck You've heard songs about truck
drivers many times their stories told How they
pulled out of Pittsburg for six days on the road
Bout the Feather River Canyon and climbin' the old
grapevine That old roadhouse down in Texas and the
girls they've left behind You've heard their tales
of daring and I think that's just fine But if you
can spare a minute well I'd like to tell you mine
There'd be no truck drivers if it wasn't for us
trucks No double clutching gear jaming coffee
drinking nuts They'll drive their way to glory and
they have all the luck There'd be no truck drivers
if it wasn't for us trucks Well there he sits in
that cafe drinking coffee and telling lies Prob'ly
telling 'em how to talk that hill ten miles back
How telling 'em how he missed a gear and that
Volkswagen full of hippies Passed us like I was
sitting up on jacks or how we took that curve over
on 66 Han't-a been for me hanging on the shoulder
we'd both wound up in the ditch If we're on time

Up those hills with shutters open my stacks are
running flame My stack a running red light sucking
diesel from the tanks I take him south and bring
him back without a word of thanks So now you've
heard my story and I guess it's my tough luck
There'd be no truck drivers if it wadn't for us
trucks There'd be no truck drivers... Look at him
sipping coffee and flirtin' with that waitress And
where do you think he left me that's right next to
cattle truck (mooo) Why couldn't we have put me
next to that little pink mack sittin' over there
Gosh she's got pretty mud flaps and talk about
stracked they're both chromed Well he'll be coming
out in a minute and he'll get that bar And he'll
go around and beat on my tires You know for two
pints of diesel I'd have a flat on the inside dual
Ha that fixed him I never did like the way he
drives anyhow Thainks he's God's gift to
waitresses he never gives 'em a tip Well I know
what he's gonna do now he's gonna take out The
tape cartridge of Back Owens and play it again I
don't know why he don't get a Merle Haggard tape
