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 ge ttin' 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 r ollin' 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 b een
Chorus
I'm a r oad hammer
A white-knuckled steel-gear jammer
A rig-jockey h ighway slammer
I'm just doin' what I gotta do
I'm a ro ad hammer
double-talkin' - rambler
I'll haul your load from Al abama
All the way to Timbu ktu
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!
