that's the thing I do best.
I guess I drove every road,
north, south, east and west.
please don't get me wrong.
But I got a few choice words to say
and I wrote them in this song.
Now I'm the guy who hauls the groceries
And that ain't nothin' special,
there's a thousand more like me
But right now times is hard,
my future's lookin' mighty dear
I'm truckin' down a tunnel
And the hurrier I go, the better I get
My overhead's been overhauled
and my revenue doesn't quit
If I gotta buy another gallon
of this high -priced fuel
I'll trade my freightliner for an
I guess you all been hearin'
speed limit's been reduced
That means I burn more diesel
and I work harder to food
cough, that trooper wouldn't budge
We're goin' to the courthouse,
you can tell it to the judge
I may look like a truck driver,
I got myself a wife and kids with ease
I wasn't driving reckless or
Besides, I swear my truck
ain't got a gear for fifty -five
Last night I spent my coffee money
the bankers have decided to foreclose
Our bank accounts run dry
and we ain't got a single buck
The finance company called,
they said they're gonna take the truck
And the hurrier I go, the bit higher I get
My overhead's been overhauled
If I gotta buy another gallon
of this high -priced fuel
I'll trade my Freightliner for
I'm gonna trade my Freightliner
Seems like the hurrier you go,
