A boogie-shuffle about a truck driving man

Lyrics
Came into this lonely world the highway as my guide
My father was a trucker, my mama by his side
So welcome me you truckers, I've come to join your fleet
Next rest stop let's stop and talk so our trucks won't overheat
Truck, truck, truck, truck, truck truckin' driver
The bennies that he takes will keep him wired
On the road since the break of dawn
Be into Rio before too long
That's why they call him ... the Truckin' Man
Coming up to Rio, fuel a little shy
Think I'll get a woman before I reach the other side
Been straddling my saddle since I opened up my eyes
Now it's time to get some rest, tomorrow's another ride
Coming up beside me, a truck driving man
My better half beside, and we are hand in hand
That little dish in Rio just wouldn't let me free
Finally decided truck driving ain't for me
Truck, truck, truck, truck, truck truckin' driver
The bennies that he takes will keep him wired
On the road since the break of dawn
Be into Rio before too long
That's why they call him ... the truckin' driver
That's why they call him ... the truckin' driver
That's why they call him ... the Truckin' Man
