Song Lyrics
I pulled in a road house down south in Texas A little spot called Hamburger Dan's The old jukebox was playing A song 'bout a Truck Drivin' Man

The waitress poured me some coffee I thanked her and called her back again I said Honey, that song sure does fit me Cause I'm a truck drivin' man

Pour me another cup of coffee Make it the finest in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox And play the Truck Drivin' Man

I climbed up inside my old semi And like a flash I was gone I got to keep these big wheels turnin' I'm on my way to San Antone

Pour me another cup of coffee Make it the finest in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox And play the Truck Drivin' Man

Pour me another cup of coffee Make it the finest in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox And play the Truck Drivin' Man And play the Truck Drivin' Man
