[Verse 1]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]

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"


[Verse 2]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

I will dedicate you a trucking song

To which you can relate

He said, "You just do the singing


[Chorus]

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


[Outro]

If I can get the fuel

Fuel"
