I had to hit the road for miles and miles
on my great truck’s leather seat
I've been to east i've been to west with my old and rusty wheels
The engine rattled under my red cab made of steel
On my way down to Arizona passing north grand canyon rim
Driving all the routes for truckers over highways and lonely hills
I had to find a place to stop for the night
Tired to have driven all day my truck of 1939
Tired to have driven all day my truck of 1939
I had to hit the road for miles and miles
on my great truck’s leather seat
I've been to east i've been to west with my old and rusty wheels
The engine rattled under my red cab made of steel
On my way down to California i was reaching the stop line
I was drinking a lot of coffee to keep my eyes open wide
I had to find a place to stop for the night
Tired to have driven all day my truck of 1939
Tired to have driven all day my truck of 1939
Smoking from the muffler like a chimney stack
Shaking, crackle and rattle all around the path
