Truck Driver's Waltz Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Gm]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]18
Wheels are a [Am]-roving along,
this [C]big 450 sings a [Am]real sad song.
My [F]woman said, you got a choice,
you run or stay.
If I [C]stay, how the hell do I [F]earn my [C]pay?
Me and
Big
Bertha, well, we've [Am]been like what?
[C]Been heavy truckin', [Am]son of a guns
[F]We'd sweat and swear to stay awake
That [C]wo man thinks that
truckin' is a [F]piece of cake
[C]So her[F]e we are out a -truckin' again
[C]Mile markers goin' by like the wind
[G]We pull our load like the king of the road
It's the [F]only way of life
for this old [C]driver[Gm][C]
I pulled for a living most [Am]all of my life
[C]All I ever had was this [Am]truck and a wife
[F]What do you want, she said,
that damn truck or me
[C]We left her sittin' back in
[F]Tennessee[C]
She said, does
Bertha keep you [Am]warm at night
When [C]you've got your troubles,
does [Am]she make it all right?
[F]She said, all we need is a happy home
[C]Don't want much, just [F]can't be alone
[C]So her[F]e we are out a -truckin' again
[C]Mile markers goin' by like the wind
[G]We pull our loader like
the king of the road
It's the [F]only way of life
for this old [C]driver[Gm][C]
Well, eighteen wheels [Am]just turned around
[C]Me and
Big
Bertha, well, we're [Am]homeward bound
[F]We've done our miles,
most of them hard
It's [C]time
Big
Bertha had a [F]big back[C]yard
[F]So here we are out a truckin' again
[C]Mile markers goin' by like the wind
[G]We pulled our load like
the king of the road
It's the [F]end of the line for this old [C]driver
Yeah, we've pulled her long enough,
old gal
The deck yard feels good in
the old back yard
Flowers and all
And for this old driver, well,
the shop job ain't gonna be so bad
And not only that,
but I'll see you every day after work

[Outro 1]
Hell, we're all wore out anyway.
[C]
