When I was just knee
high to a puddle duck
Santy Claus brought me a little toy truck
And I drove ten thousand miles
And I brought a yard
I brought a yard
Well I said right then when I get grown
I'll have me a big truck all my own
And I made it too, but boys,
it's mighty hard
Ain't dodgin' scales to
make up time
Gettin' called ten times out of nine
This 18 -wheeler,
she's makin' a wreck out of me
I got tickets from all the
best towns around
And when I made the
terminal today I found
Some smart -ass joker's done
got my seniority
My little lady and the union,
they're just alike
About changing their minds
and a -goin' on strike
And the worry I do about them
two ain't no fun
Ain't no fun
Well, I was headed home from Portland,
Maine
When the union started
havin' labor pains
Dankin' she didn't, too
And now I've got a son
But I bet you one thing that kid of mine
Won't ever get at Christmas time
It's a little toy truck
like Santa Claus brought to me
And if he ever mentions
havin' one around
I'll tan his little hide till he can't sit down
No more gear jammers in
this here family
Now listen, I want that boy
to get him an easy job.
You know, like after all he could
be president
Ambassador to Music City USA
or governor, secretary of state
Anywho, but me right now
I'm gonna park this rig and
get a cup of coffee
