  E                         A      
I stopped at a roadhouse in Texas
  E                             B7      
A little place called Hamburger Dan's
  E                        A        
I heard that old jukebox a-playing
  B7                            E    
A song called the Truck Driving Man

                                  A       
The waitress then brought me some coffee
  E                          B7      
I thanked her but called her again
  E                            A       
I said that old song sure does fit me
B7                         E    
'Cause I'm a truck driving man
     
                       A       
Pour me another cup of coffee
    E                     B7     
For it is the best in the land
     E                   A        
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
    B7                     E    
And play the Truck Driving Man

Instrumental - harmonica then fiddle
 
                             A     
I climbed back aboard my old semi
    E                       B7     
And then like a flash I was gone
  E                           A        
I got them old truck wheels a-rolling
       B7            E       
I'm on my way to San Antone

                         A      
When I get my call up to glory
     E                      B7     
They take me away from this land
     E                         A       
I'll herd this old truck up to Heaven
B7                         E    
'Cause I'm a truck drivin' man

                       A       
Pour me another cup of coffee
    E                     B7     
For it is the best in the land
     E                   A        
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
    B7                     E    
And play the Truck Driving Man
