(chorus:)
If i was a truckin' man
I'd be a gear jammer with a one-armed tan
I'd spend my nights in the roadhouse
Days on the lost highway
Hey, if i was a truckin' man
I'd have my radio screamin' on the am band
All night drivin' by dashboard lights
If i was a truckin' man

Now i can't let my life slip away
Pushin' these number two pencils everyday
This rat race don't fit into my plan, no ma'am
I'm dreamin', schemin', if i was a truckin' man

(chorus:)
If i was a truckin' man
I'd be a gear jammer with a one-armed tan
I'd spend my nights in the roadhouse
Days on the lost highway
Hey, if i was a truckin' man
I'd have my radio screamin' on the am band
All night drivin' by dashboard lights
If i was a truckin' man

(guitar/steel solos)

Well i'd sign my life away on the dotted white line
Drinkin' my coffee, smokin' my smokes all night
And if i get tired, i'll let benny drive if he can
I'm dreamin', schemin', if i was a truckin' man

(chorus:)
If i was a truckin' man
I'd be a gear jammer with a one-armed tan
I'd spend my nights in the roadhouse
Days on the lost highway
Hey, if i was a truckin' man
I'd have my radio screamin' on the am band
All night drivin' by dashboard lights
If i was a truckin' man
