Truck Driver

Truck Driver

When I'm out I'm rolling..

I am king of the road again..

Moving freight across the country..

From A to B than back again...

You want your goods into the shops..

How do you think it all gets there then ?

It's because of guys and gals like me...

Driving all night..but do you care...?

Chorus

'Cos you treat me like a vermin....

Cut me up....don't give me room...

You do the dumbest things you know..

At your peril.....to work you zoom...

I'm a forty four tonne missile Maam...

Don't just nip infront.....leave more room...

I carry the weight of the world....

In my dirty... great big trailers......

And you thoughtless...lazy car drivers...

Are on a mission to derail us....

Do you think we like the pressure...

To always have to think for you.....?

You're on the phone...or doing make-up...

And the courtesies are coming few...

Chorus

'Cos you treat me like a vermin....

Cut me up....don't give me room...

You do the dumbest things you know..

At your peril.....to work you zoom...

I'm a forty four tonne missile Maam...

Don't just nip infront.....leave more room...

Imagine what will happen when....

You force me to brake on a dime...

Why can't you set out earlier.....

Or that coffin might be mine.....

Please pay attention to the climate...

And drive with care to reach your end...

Or we could come to grips of steel...

Watch your precious car....I'll bend.....

Chorus

'Cos you treat me like a vermin....

Cut me up....don't give me room...

You do the dumbest things you know..

At your peril.....to work you zoom...

I'm a forty four tonne missile Maam...

Don't just nip infront.....leave more room...

Like you I work for the money....

To have a life and family who care..

Don't treat me as if I'm nothing...

A brighter day I'd like to share....

And when the rain is falling....

Stick to your lane...not mine...

This massive lump of rolling steel...

Is much harder to keep in line.....

(Build melody)

Be patient in the traffics morning queue....

I hate to be stuck here too.....

But I have to navigate this ship...

Across the sea of faces like you.....

Or there'll be no bread at Tescos......

Nor milk for your daily morning tea....

Please... open up your eyes wider......

And spare a little thought for me.....

Chorus

'Cos you treat me like a vermin....

Cut me up....don't give me room...

You do the dumbest things you know..

At your peril.....to work you zoom...

I'm a forty four tonne missile Maam...

Don't just nip infront.....leave more room...

Chorus

'Cos you treat me like a vermin....

Cut me up....don't give me room...

You do the dumbest things you know..

At your peril.....to work you zoom...

I'm a forty four tonne missile Maam...

Don't just nip infront.....leave more room...
