C
I’m a drivin’ man, that’s what I do
C G
My life is truckstops and diesel and greasy diner food
C F
And my radio is always on
C G C
An old country station cause I like them old songs
Chorus:
G C
Load me up, I gotta go
F G
Five hundred miles down this old road
G Am F
If I drive all night, I will make Tennessee
C G C
That’s where my baby is waiting for me
I stop at the scales and I get my tare
I check my brakes and the lights and my tires for air
Then I’m off again to another town
That old engine roars when that hammer goes down
Chorus
Bridge:
G F C
I’ve got the road in my blood just like my daddy did
C G
And my grandpa was a truck driver too
G Am F C
Thru the rain and the snow and when the sky is a rose at sunrise
G
I know what I was born to do
I drive through the mountains with nerves of steel
Sixteen lanes of freeway man that ain’t no big deal
But I must admit the only thing that gets to me
Is that look in her eyes when I leave
Chorus
That’s where my baby is waiting for me
That’s where my baby is waiting for me
