 Verse 1 
 
       G                   
 I'm a road man, a load man
 Bb                          
 18 wheels and a serious plan
       C                                 
 Ain't nothing gonna go gettin' outa hand
       Bb  C          G    
 While I'm behind the wheel
 G                         
 I'm on fire, and I'm wired
 Bb                               
 Full of diesel and ready for hire
 C                                  
 While I'm building a rollin' empire
    Bb    C         G    
 Of blood sweat and steel
 
 Verse 2 
 
         G                      
 I don't waste time, I make time
 Bb                                
 Tearin' a strip off the white line
       C                                    
 I'm a professional man, I'm a one of a kind
       Bb        C        G   
 And I know how to bring it in
         G                         
 I got a clean slate in five states
     Bb                             
 And twenty-nine that ain't so great
     C                             
 And fourteen that'll have to wait,
     Bb       C     G   
 And two I've never been
 
 Chorus 
 
 G                
 I'm a road hammer
   Bb                              
 A white-knuckled steel-gear jammer
   C                         
 A rig-jockey highway slammer
          Bb           C     G 
 I'm just doin' what I gotta do
 G                
 I'm a road hammer
   Bb                        
 A double-talkin' C-B rambler
      C                          
 I'll haul your load from Alabama
 Bb             C     G 
 All the way to Timbuktu
 
 Verse 3 
 
             G                       
 I've hauled left coast to west coast
 Bb                                            
 California sun where they're chillin' the most
          C                          
 I follow 309, the teddy bear's ghost
 Bb             C     G    
 All the way to New Orleans
                G                  
 I've been from Thunder Bay, to P-A
 Bb                       
 All the way down to F-L-A
     C                              
 And every little town along the way
               Bb          C       G   
 They're ain't much that I haven't seen
 
 Chorus

 A rig-jockey highway slammer
          Bb           C     G 
 I'm just doin' what I gotta do

 I'm a road hammer

 A double-talkin' C-B rambler

 Verse 4 
 
         G                         
 I got a pimped ride, pretty bride,
 Bb                                    
 Four little babies and my hound reside
 C                                    
 Back in the hills on the mountainside
 Bb           C     G   
 South of the river bend
          G                 
 I got my cellphone, on roam
 Bb                                   
 Sweet little thing wants to get it on
            C                               
 She says I left something turned on at home
           Bb            C    G     
 She can't wait till I'm back again!
