She's always waitin' with two loving arms when I get home She tells me that she's lonely every minute while I'm gone She keeps begging me to quit this road but I can't quit that's true Cause I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do Well I would like to work in town but I can't I'm afraid Cause you can't get a job in town unless you gotta trade And the only trade I know is drivin' this old truck that's true Cause I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do Born to be a trucker drivin' this old truck across the nation Born to be a trucker that's my only occupation I guess I'll keep on driving these old trucks till I get old Cause it's the only way of livin' this poor boy knows Well I could have been a business man if I just gone to school But I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do [ steel ] Born to be a trucker... I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do
