Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
I'm a road man, a load man
18 wheels and a serious plan
Ain't nothing gonna go gettin' outa hand
While I'm behind the wheel
I'm on fire, and I'm wired
Full of diesel and ready for hire
While I'm building a rollin' empire
Of blood sweat and steel
Verse 2
I don't waste time, I make time
Tearin' a strip off the white line
I'm a professional man, I'm a one of a kind
And I know how to bring it in
I got a clean slate in five states
And twenty-nine that ain't so great
And fourteen that'll have to wait,
And two I've never been
Chorus
I'm a road hammer
A white-knuckled steel-gear jammer
A rig-jockey highway slammer
I'm just doin' what I gotta do
I'm a road hammer
double-talkin' - rambler
I'll haul your load from Alabama
All the way to Timbuktu
Verse 3
I've hauled left coast to west coast
California sun where they're chillin' the most
I follow 309, the teddy bear's ghost
All the way to New Orleans
I've been from Thunder Bay, to P-A
All the way down to F-L-A
And every little town along the way
They're ain't much that I haven't seen
Chorus
Bridge
Another day, another town
Diesel up, and hammer down!
Verse 4
I got a pimped ride, pretty bride,
Four little babies in my town reside
Back in the hills on the mountainside
South of the river bend
I got my cellphone, on roam
Sweet little thing wants to get it on
She says I left something turned on at home
She can't wait till I'm back again!
