Lyrics

A truckies reputation
Is anything but good
But we’d never see you stranded
We’d do the best we could
Yeah we push 'em through the cities
From coast to coast and back
We drive the mighty semi’s
The Volvo and the Mack
Oh it may not be the brightest one
This job we have to do
But still there must be someone
To get the semi’s through
Here we take them through the country
We push 'em constantly
We drive the mighty semi’s
The Merc and BMC
Oh the miles are long and many
And the comforts short and few
But the wheels are kept a-rollin'
To get the cargo through
Oh we shove 'em o’er the desert
We do the best we can
We drive the mighty semi’s
The Leyland and the Man
The thankless miles are many
That we steep behind the wheel
But a cap nap in the cabin
Will straighten out the keal
Oh we push 'em on regardless
We roll 'em day and night
We drive the mighty semi’s
The Transtar and the White
Instrumental
Oh the purring of the Jimmies
Three hundred horses strong
Makes the mighty Kenworth
Move the load along
Oh we push 'em 'cross the country
To get from here to there
With the boys that drive the semi’s
From here to «lord knows where»
The heavy rig beneath us
We handle, no mistake
No matter what condition
No matter what the make
Hey we tail them through the hardships
And every western track
We’re the boys that drive the semi’s
From here to there and back
