Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. – Ten Ton Load
Text:
Well I pulled out of Georgia with a ten ton load
I’m headin’ down the cold stone that black topper road
Looked out the window at the sky up above
Sat back and I thought of the life that I love
Now you can give a banker a nice easy seat
And you can give the sailor all those sea that he meet
But when it comes to drive and just leave that of me
Cause I know in my heart it’s my destiny
The love of a woman now I’ll never see
Cause dark nights and city lights keep on calling me
I’m headin’ down to Florida on this black top road
Got a high wide rig with a ten ton load
Well I met a lotta people and I seen a lotta towns
But this rig is my palace and the highway’s my crown
I’ll never give up this truck driving life
For a son to call me daddy or a sweet loving wife
All you people have heard my story when I’m in my cab well I’m in my glory
Now it may be hard for some to understand
I was born and I’ll die the truck driving man
I was born and I’ll die the six wheeler man
I was born and I’ll die the truck driving man
And you can give the sailor all those sea that he meet
But when it comes to drive and just leave that of me
Cause I know in my heart it’s my destiny
The love of a woman now I’ll never see
Cause dark nights and city lights keep on calling me
I’m headin’ down to Florida on this black top road
Got a high wide rig with a ten ton load
Well I met a lotta people and I seen a lotta towns
But this rig is my palace and the highway’s my crown
I’ll never give up this truck driving life
For a son to call me daddy or a sweet loving wife
All you people have heard my story when I’m in my cab well I’m in my glory
Now it may be hard for some to understand
I was born and I’ll die the truck driving man
I was born and I’ll die the six wheeler man
I was born and I’ll die the truck driving man
