Rory Gallagher - Livin' Like A Trucker lyrics

rate me

Well I've been livin' like a trucker,<br />

For a month or more.<br />

Well, I'm steaming like a diesel,<br />

That cannot feel it's throat.<br />

<br />

Well, I'm closing all the windows,<br />

Keeping out the rain.<br />

But, I'm not complaining,<br />

In fact I'd do it all again.<br />

I'm a ramblin' man,<br />

Cannot stop a travlin' man.<br />

<br />

I've been singing for my supper,<br />

But I never get to eat.<br />

Well I queue up at the diner.<br />

But I cannot find a seat.<br />

<br />

Well, I've been livin' like a gypsy,<br />

Feeling like a king.<br />

Really feel like singin'..you know,<br />

That's the mood I'm in.<br />

I'm a ramblin' man,<br />

Some kind of travlin' man.<br />

<br />

You'll never catch me working 9 to 5,<br />

That's for some people, but me I wanna ride.<br />

All around the world, to the planets end,<br />

I've seen some places, but more I ain't seen yet.<br />

<br />

Yeah....<br />

<br />

Lose an hour, gain an hour,<br />

Somewhere on a map.<br />

Flying through the time zone,<br />

Another plane to catch.<br />

Why I've always gotta see what's on the other side,<br />

So I pack my bag.<br />

Get on my way.<br />

And catch my train and ride.<br />

<br />

I've been livin' like a hawker,<br />

In days both hot and cold.<br />

Well, I'm sleeping if I have to,<br />

Before the wagons roll.<br />

<br />

Well, I've been hopin' and I've been prayin,<br />

Since I was last here.<br />

Tell your mama not to worry,<br />

Come on baby, get on up here.<br />

<br />

I'm a ramblin' man,<br />

Some kind of travlin' man.<br />

<br />

Well I've been livin' like a trucker,<br />

For a month or more.<br />

Well, I'm steaming like a diesel,<br />

That cannot feel it's throat.<br />

<br />

Well, I'm closing all the windows,<br />

Keeping out the rain.<br />

But, you won't hear me complaining,<br />

In fact I'd do it all again.<br />

I'm a travlin' man,<br />

Some kind of ramblin' man.<br />

<br />

Yes, I'd do it all again.<br />

I'd do it all again, baby.<br />

Travlin' man, travlin' man.<br />

Yeah....
