Raquette River Rounders - Ricki the Runner lyrics

I am a driver For Eastern Van Lines Pittsburgh to Boston I'm always on time They gave me a Kenworth 'Til my Peterbilt's fixed My handles "The Runner" My friend's call me Rick (Chorus) I'm Ricki the Runner Got a highway for dreams And eighteen wheels rolling down 84 East And there's no one back home waiting for me But who cares? Whose back there? This truck is all I need Well I used to be a teacher In a "Learn-to-Drive" school And then I got married Hell I was a fool I got a daughter in college Gets from her brains from her ma Well, I never go see here I'd feel funny somehow (Chorus) That's right (Instrumental) (Chorus) (Instrumental) That is my story No, there's not much to say I'm just a truck driver But I like it this way Ricki the Runner Ricki the Runner Ricki the Runner That's me
