Truckdriver Chords

Capo 2nd fret

G C

 When I was a yGoung girl, I wanted to be a truCckdriver

 I wanted to dGrive my whole life aCway

 I would stGop at all of the Bmtruckstops on the roadside and I’d

 OrCder the special with fAmries

 Then I would gGet back in my truck and dDrive for miCles and miles

 I grew up onG a farm out in southern Ontario, I guess I was a luCcky girl

 But our wGhite picket fence was a bit of a joke, it was broke and it fCenced me in

 SometGimes to get away I would Bmlay myself down

 In the sCweet summer hay fields aAmt night

 I'd watch the heaGdlights on the highway and I Dwould

 Dream of a betCter life

Chorus

 I would drGive C

 I would dGrive C

I got my license when I was seventeen years old, it was my freedom ticket

I’d listen to rock 'n' roll on FM radio as I drove those country roads

Then I’d pick up a six-pack and a couple of friends and we’d just

Waste time, driving around

I'd feel the wind on my face, then I'd go get drunk in a field someplace

Chorus

I would drive

I would drive

When I was twenty-two, I finished some school, packed up and

Moved out west

Sitting on my roof above the city smoking hand-rolled cigarettes

But there were buildings between me and who I wanted to be

And they started closing in on me

I got that “gotta get me outta this place” feeling again

So I got me a job stocking shelves for eight bucks an hour in

A small mountain town grocery store

And the women cashiers had been working there for many years or more

And their husbands worked the butcher line

While I tried to keep my stock in a straight line

But I was biding time and besides I never was the marrying kind

Bridge

DI’m hard because I’ve hCad to be

 And I’m sDcarred from my life’s acCcident scenes

 But singing tDaught me to feel something

 In the midst of noCthing

 It got my heart pDumping and put my hands on the Cwheel (hands on the wheel)

Chorus

I will drive

I will drive

 When I was a yGoung girl, I wanted to be a trCuckdriver
