all i do is drive

well

i asked an old truck driver

about life out on the road

if he does a lotta singing

when he's bringing in his load

if there's a pretty waitress crying for him

every hundred miles

if he gets a lotta loving

if he has a lot of smiles

and i asked him if those trucking songs

tell about a life like his

he said

if you want to know the truth about it

here's the way it is

all i do is drive

drive

drive

try to stay alive

and keep my mind on my load

keep my eye upon the road

i got nothin' in common with any man

who's home every day at five

all i do is drive

drive

drive

drive

drive

drive

drive

well

we shared a cup of coffee

then i had to warm it up

and his greasy fingers trembled

as he held onto the cup

and i said

don't you hear a lot of music

see a lot of sights

but if you'll tune into the grand ole opry

saturday night

i will dedicate you a trucking song

to which you can relate

he said

you just do the singing

and i'll do the driving mate

all i do is drive

drive

drive

try to stay alive

and keep my mind on my load

keep my eye upon the road

i got nothin' in common with any man

who's home every day at five

all i do is drive

drive

drive

drive

drive

drive

drive

if i can get the fuel
