(Chorus:)

If I was a truckin' man

I'd be a gear jammer with a one-armed tan

I'd spend my nights in the roadhouse

Days on the lost highway

Hey, if I was a truckin' man

I'd have my radio screamin' on the AM band

All night drivin' by dashboard lights

If I was a truckin' man

Now I can't let my life slip away

Pushin' these number two pencils everyday

This rat race don't fit into my plan, no ma'am

I'm dreamin', schemin', if I was a truckin' man

(Chorus:)

If I was a truckin' man

I'd be a gear jammer with a one-armed tan

I'd spend my nights in the roadhouse

Days on the lost highway

Hey, if I was a truckin' man

I'd have my radio screamin' on the AM band

All night drivin' by dashboard lights

If I was a truckin' man

(Guitar/Steel solos)

Well I'd sign my life away on the dotted white line

Drinkin' my coffee, smokin' my smokes all night

And if I get tired, I'll let Benny drive if he can

I'm dreamin', schemin', if I was a truckin' man

(Chorus:)

If I was a truckin' man

I'd be a gear jammer with a one-armed tan

I'd spend my nights in the roadhouse

Days on the lost highway

Hey, if I was a truckin' man

I'd have my radio screamin' on the AM band

All night drivin' by dashboard lights

If I was a truckin' man
