Forty-one tonnes of truckin under me
I guess most of time, Im where Im supposed to be
If I get out, its only for a minute
If you see the girl, shout, you can bet Im in it
Its nice to chat but I tell you something
Got my rig out back and the engines runnin
I always know when its time to go
Gonna hitch up my load and get back on the road
Ive been a teacher and a preacher, a big lifetime ago
Then a broker and a lawyer, howd I every sink that low?
Then one day I woke up and gave me a slap
Sold the car and house and bought me a Mack
Its nice to chat but I tell you something
Got my rig out back and the engines runnin
I always know when its time to go
Gonna hitch up my load and get back on the road
Sure theres some wholl ridicule
But loving this life, does it make me a fool?
Once I had me the prettiest girl around
And Im sorry to say, I aint with her now
But Ill see her in an hour and Ill be polite
Then Im gonna see my boy Jimmy tonight
I love to chat but I tell you something
Got my rig out back and the engines runnin
I always know when its time to go
Gonna hitch up my load and hit the road
Yeah I love to chat but I tell you something
Got my rig out back and the diesels humming
I always know when its time to go
Im gonna hitch up my load, its time to go
Hitch up my load and get back on the road
