Truck Driver's Blues Lyrics

Feelin' tired and weary from my head down to my shoes
Feelin' tired and weary from my head down to my shoes
Got a low down feelin' truck driver's blues
Keep them wheels a rollin' I ain't got no time to lose

Keep them wheels a rollin' I ain't got no time to lose
(Got a low down feelin' truck driver's blues)
Ride, ride, ride on into town there's a honky tonk gal a waitin'
And I've got troubles to drown

(Never did have nothin' I've got nothin' much to lose)
Never did have nothin' I've got nothin' much to lose
(Just a low down feelin' truck driver's blues)
Ride, ride, ride on into town there's a honky tonk gal a waitin'
(Never did have nothin')
