Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Well, you think you want to drive a truck,
Company can get you trained in weeks!
Till you smoke them brakes, or jack knife,
Coming down the mountain peaks.
Can’t find parking anywhere
So Sleepin in some sketchy places.
Freedom is what they sold you,
With Lies written across their faces!
(Chorus)
Everybody wants to be a trucker,
'Til it’s time to do trucker stuff,
They don’t wanna drive at night,
in the snow, or fog, when it gets tough.
Can’t park right in the truck stops,
In the fuel lanes, while On breaks!
Yeah, everybody wants to be a trucker,
They ain’t ready for the work it takes.
(Verse 2)
They tell you all about the good things,
You will get to see the country!
Lie to you about the pay,
That you’ll make good money!
They don’t tell you,
Because they don’t really care!
The endless roads and deadlines!
Or the time we spend in our chair.
Late nights and early mornings,
A story they can’t keep straight,
Or the phone call with a broker,
Who wants to know where’s the freight!
(Chorus)
Everybody wants to be a trucker,
'Til it’s time to do trucker stuff,
They don’t wanna drive at night,
in the snow, or fog, when it gets tough.
Can’t park right in the truck stops,
In the fuel lanes, while On breaks!
Yeah, everybody wants to be a trucker,
They ain’t ready for the work it takes.
(Bridge)
Got your CDL and a truck of your own,
Got your CDL and a truck of your own,
Think you just gonna ride and play on your phone!
Use to be truckers riding behind a long hood!
Drivers helpin each other out like a brotherhood!
C.B. Fights can turn to a push and shove,
From long days away from those that you love!
(Outro)
If you think you got what it takes,
To drive this rig and keep with the pace,
It’s more than just a dream you chase,
It’s grit and grind, it’s a long, hard race.
From city lights to those open skies,
With every mile, as the engine cries,
When you roll into that home sweet home,
You will understand then why we roam
(Chorus)
Everybody wants to be a trucker,
'Til it’s time to do trucker stuff,
They don’t wanna drive at night,
in the snow, or fog, when it gets tough.
Can’t park right in the truck stops,
In the fuel lanes, while On breaks!
Yeah, everybody wants to be a trucker,
They ain’t ready for the work it takes.
