She's always waitin' with two lovin' arms when I get home
She tells me that she's lonely every minute while I'm gone
She keeps beggin' 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've got a trade
And the only trade I know is drivin' these old trucks, it'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 drivin' these trucks 'til 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'd just gone to school
But 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 drivin' these old trucks 'til 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'd just gone to school
But I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do
I was born to be a trucker and that's all I wanna do
