Livin' Like A Trucker - Rory Gallagher

Well I’ve been livin' like a trucker

For a month or more

Well, I’m steaming like a diesel

That cannot feel it’s throat

Well, I’m closing all the windows

Keeping out the rain

But, I’m not complaining

In fact I’d do it all again

I’m a ramblin' man

Cannot stop a travlin' man

I’ve been singing for my supper

But I never get to eat

Well I queue up at the diner

But I cannot find a seat

Well, I’ve been livin' like a gypsy

Feeling like a king

Really feel like singin'.you know

That’s the mood I’m in

I’m a ramblin' man

Some kind of travlin' man

You’ll never catch me working 9 to 5

That’s for some people, but me I wanna ride

All around the world, to the planets end

I’ve seen some places, but more I ain’t seen yet

Yeah…

Lose an hour, gain an hour

Somewhere on a map

Flying through the time zone

Another plane to catch

Why I’ve always gotta see what’s on the other side

So I pack my bag

Get on my way

And catch my train and ride

I’ve been livin' like a hawker

In days both hot and cold

Well, I’m sleeping if I have to

Before the wagons roll

Well, I’ve been hopin' and I’ve been prayin

Since I was last here

Tell your mama not to worry

Come on baby, get on up here

I’m a ramblin' man

Some kind of travlin' man

Well I’ve been livin' like a trucker

For a month or more

Well, I’m steaming like a diesel

That cannot feel it’s throat

Well, I’m closing all the windows

Keeping out the rain

But, you won’t hear me complaining

In fact I’d do it all again

I’m a travlin' man

Some kind of ramblin' man

Yes, I’d do it all again

I’d do it all again, baby

Travlin' man, travlin' man

Yeah…
