Too many loads behind, too much traveling time,
Don't know where I'm headed, much less where I've been.
Each year as I get older, I spend more time on the shoulder
Than I do rolling down this road I use to call my friend.
Fast living, hard driving on a highway I call home,
Another lonely truckstop and then I'll be moving on....
Fast living, hard driving may be the death of me,
But that's the price a trucker pays to be free.
Middle -4 Bars-
Too many warning signs, I pass them all the time,
Driving an old semi sure plays hell on those you love,
My kids are almost grown and they've done it on their own
With mama's help and daddy's love as he hustles to earn a buck.
Fast living, hard driving on a highway I call home,
Another lonely truckstop and then I'll be moving on....
Fast living, hard driving may be the death of me,
But that's the price a trucker pays to be free.
Oh yeah that's the price a trucker pays to be free
