Day after day, alone at the wheel
The truck drivin' man is workin' to pay his bills
And nobody wants to block him
They can see that he's on a roll
He's tryin' to meet a deadline
And the guy at the wheel
Sees the sun goin' down
As he drives down the road
With a real heavy load

Well on his way, through sun and rain
The man at the wheel has to be perfectly sane
Cause everyone's at his mercy
In that huge metal machine
He keeps his eyes wide open
And the guy at the wheel
Has his CB turned on
And he thinks 'bout his home

And I make sure he sees me
In his big ole' rear view mirror
I keep my distance from him--
And the guy at the wheel
Keeps his coffee close by
And his rig on the fly
