I stopped at a roadhouse in Texas
A little place called Hamburger Dan
I heard that old jukebox started playin'
THe song about a 'Truck Drivin' Man'

Well the waitress then brought me some coffee
And I thanked her and called her again
I said, "That old song there sure does fit me
'Cause I'm a truck drivin' man"

So pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
And put another nickel in the jukebox
And play that 'Truck Drivin' Man'

And I climbed back aboard my old semi
Again like a flash I was gone
I heard them old truck wheels start rollin'
I'm on my way down to San Antone

Oh so, pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
And put another nickel in the jukebox
We gonna play a little 'Truck Drivin' Man'
Almost play that 'Truck Drivin' Man'
Come on and play that 'Truck Drivin' Man'

Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »
