Lyrics

[Verse]
I hear the diesel engines hummin'
From California to the New York Island
But I ain't been home since the twenty-seventh of July
I tell my wife I miss her and my kids that I love 'em
But daddy's gotta make a livin'
If I'm ever gonna give 'em the life I never had
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A trucker's state of mind
Yeah
It's the life I chose and a life I know
But it gets hard sometimes
When I can't go home and I'm all alone
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A trucker's state of mind
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A trucker's state of mind
[Verse 2]
There's a lotta red dirt out in Oklahoma
Where they play that red dirt music
And you can bet that I lose it every time they sing that song
About mama tryin' to call me
Tellin' me to come home
She says she misses me
And baby
It gets to me
But there's no way I can right now
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A trucker's state of mind
Yeah
It's the life I chose and a life I know
But it gets hard sometimes
When I can't go home and I'm all alone
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A trucker's state of mind
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A trucker's state of mind
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A trucker's state of mind
Yeah
It's the life I chose and a life I know
But it gets hard sometimes
When I can't go home and I'm all alone
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A trucker's state of mind
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A trucker's state of mind
A trucker's state of mind
