Ten Ton Load

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
