Well I drove the truck from New York all the way to San Antone And it's a mighty long haul when you're all alone But I like drivin' trucks and I make my livin' this way Well I'm a truck drivin' fool and that's how I'm a gonna stay I like to hear that diesel as it keeps on a hummin' along I'm a shiftin' these gears and I'm singin' myself a song Well I see a lotta country as I go on my way Yeah I'm a truck drivin' fool and that's how I'm gonna stay Yeah I'm a truck drivin' fool and trucks have got the best of me I guess I'll never settle down cause I couldn't stay you see Cause when I'm drivin' that truck I'm like a schoolboy out to play Yeah I'm a truck drivin' fool and that's how I'm gonna stay [ guitar ] Once I started to marry a gal in a little country town But she didn't like my truck so way went around and around She tried to affect me and that's where she went astray Cause I'm a truck drivin' fool and that's how I'm gonna stay I'm a truck drivin' fool and that's how I'm gonna stay
