ten ton load

well i pulled out of georgia with a ten ton load

i'm headin' down the cold stone that black topper road

looked out the window at the sky up above

sat back and i thought of the life that i love

now you can give a banker a nice easy seat

and you can give the sailor all those sea that he meet

but when it comes to drive and just leave that of me

cause i know in my heart it's my destiny

the love of a woman now i'll never see

cause dark nights and city lights keep on calling me

i'm headin' down to florida on this black top road

got a high wide rig with a ten ton load

well i met a lotta people and i seen a lotta towns

but this rig is my palace and the highway's my crown

i'll never give up this truck driving life

for a son to call me daddy or a sweet loving wife

all you people have heard my story when i'm in my cab well i'm in my glory

now it may be hard for some to understand

i was born and i'll die the truck driving man

i was born and i'll die the six wheeler man

i was born and i'll die the truck driving man
