She worked in a diner, cooking eggs and ham
She hated truckers, and that's what I am
She never said "Morning" or "Have a nice day"
And she never smiled when I got up to pay
Why, oh why, did she have to hate truckers?
We're nice guys when you give us a chance
We never swear around kids or ladies
And we seldom wipe our hands on our pants.
Why, oh why, did she have to love lawyers?
I never met one that cared about love
And sure, I love her, I won't deny that
`Cause she always smelled like hot bacon fat.
She worked in a truck stop, pumping gas and fuel
She hated truckers, because she thought we were cruel
She washed my windows with a dry oily rag
She always laughed at my American flag
Why, oh why, did she have to hate truckers?
We always smile when we take out our cash
We never look down little girls' blouses
And we always keep a bag for our trash
Why, oh why, did she have to love lawyers?
I never met one that liked to have fun.
And sure, I love her, I won't deny that
`Cause she always wore a clean baseball hat
Why, oh why, did she have to hate truckers?
We never hit babies or tip you a dime
We don't act pretentious and we don't think in Latin
And we'll always love you, when we have the time.
We'll always love you, when we have the time.
