I was born in the sleeper
who could handle any truck
And hold any kind of a load
Well, I learned how to talk on an old CV
And how to read from a highway map
I started riding big trucks
Well, I'm a highway cowboy,
my truck is a mobile home
the road is all I ever know
Tomorrow I might find me in Vichytown,
But I'd drive all the way to Timbuktu
If you'd give me something I can hold
Now my daddy told my mama
She would go with him from time to time
And turn it around on a day
One day daddy left and he didn't return
He took off with the women and the booze
she had to fill my daddy's shoes
Well, I'm a highway cowboy,
the truck is a moving home
the road is all I ever know
Well, tomorrow might find
well, the next day in Old St. Paul
But I'd drive all the way to Timbuktu
If you'd give me something I can hold
Well, I'm a highway cowboy,
my trunk is a mobbin' haul
the road is all I ever know
Tomorrow might find me in Bichita
Well, the next day in Old St. Paul
But I'll drive all the way to Timbuktu
If you give me something I can hold
Well, I'm a highway cowboy,
my truck is a moving home
Well, I'm a highway cowboy,
the road is so high in Brunon
