Hank Williams Jr. - Ten Ton Load lyrics

rate me

Well I pulled out of Georgia with a ten ton load

I'm headin' down the cold stone that black topper road

Looked out the window at the sky up above

Sat back and I thought of the life that I love

Now you can give a banker a nice easy seat

And you can give the sailor all those sea that he meet

But when it comes to drive and just leave that of me

Cause I know in my heart it's my destiny

The love of a woman now I'll never see

Cause dark nights and city lights keep on calling me

I'm headin' down to Florida on this black top road

Got a high wide rig with a ten ton load

Well I met a lotta people and I seen a lotta towns

But this rig is my palace and the highway's my crown

I'll never give up this truck driving life

For a son to call me daddy or a sweet loving wife

All you people have heard my story when I'm in my cab well I'm in my glory

Now it may be hard for some to understand

I was born and I'll die the truck driving man

I was born and I'll die the six wheeler man

I was born and I'll die the truck driving man
