He's got a sunburn on his left arm From hanging out a Peterbilt window Got a wife and three kids on the farm He's driving just as fast as he can go Minneapolis in his rear view He's deadheading to Tulsa Got the hammer down on eighty two Every mile marker getting closer Hey he's a trucker man Trying to get home just as fast as he can Those red eye runs are taking their toll This eighteen wheeler is rolling back home Staring a hole through the wind sheild He's got nineteen on the CB Well they call him the Bandit Cause he only breaks for the smokeys Hey he's a trucker man Trying to get home just as fast as he can
Those red eye runs are taking their toll This eighteen wheeler is rolling back home He's got a Smith & Wesson in the glove box And Mother Mary on the dashboard He's a red blooded blue collar man American right to the core Hey he's a trucker man Trying to get home just as fast as he can Those red eye runs are taking their toll This eighteen wheeler is rolling back home Hey he's a trucker man Trying to get home just as fast as he can Those red eye runs are taking their toll This eighteen wheeler is rolling back home He's a rolling back home
