Life of a Trucker

Following that never ending road
What a lonely way to live
A time consuming career
That knows not how to forgive

Traveling, seeing the sights
Same old thing, with a different hat
After so long it's always
Been There, Done That

Leaving behind friends
Family, children, and such
Loss of relationships
That used to mean so much

Of course there's letters
Conversations on the phone
But it always ends the same
You always end up alone

Eighteen wheels turning
Radio playing another song
It's always the same
Been the same for way too long

Voices on the CB
The only people to talk to
Trying not to go crazy
The only thing that you can do

Hoping to make the drop
In the given amount of time
Leaving behind your other life
Just to make a dime

Without Truckers, America Stops
But how many people know
How lonely it can be
The life of a trucker on the road
