She's always a 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 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

Born to be a trucker...
I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do
