Holley, Pittsburgh with a load of steel
Nobody knows just how I feel
With the road up ahead and my baby behind
Keep me driving with a weary mind

If you haul too light you can't make a dime
If you haul too heavy then you get a fine
Look at them lined up down the road
Guess I'd better dump my load

Lawn [E] Chum [A] Truck Drivers Blue
Well it's coffee, cakes, and pork and beans
Black-eyed peas and turnip greens
Turn on my radio one time more
Here on this tub you're walking the floor

Oh the motor's purring, I'm making time
Taking me back to that baby of mine

The Truck Drivers Blues I won't sing no more

[D] With the road up ahead and my baby [A] behind
Over the hill the big wheels grind
