^AmWell, you hate those diesels^D7 rollin' ^AmAnd those Friday nights out bowlin' ^D7 ^GWhen he's off for a ^Gb7twelve ^F7hour l^E7ay overnigh^E7add9t

^AmYou wish you had a dollar^D7 ^AmFor every time he holler^D7ed that he's ^GLeaving and he's ^Gb7never ^F7comin' ^E7back ^E7add9

^AmBut the curtain laced below ^D7 ^AmAnd his hands on your pillow^D7 And his^G trousers are^Gb7 hang^F7in' o^E7n the chai^E7add9r

^AmYou're lyin' through your pain, ba^D7be ^AmBut you're gonna tell him he's you^D7r man And you ^Gain't got the^Gb7 coura^F7ge to ^E7leave^E7add9

^AmHe tells you that you're on his m^D7ind ^AmYou're the only one he's ever gonna fi^D7nd It's ^Gkind-a special,^Gb7 understa^F7nds his ^E7complicated ^E7add9soul

^AmBut the only place a man can brea^D7the ^AmAnd collect his though^D7ts is ^GMidnight and ^Gb7flyin' ^F7away o^E7n the ^E7add9road

^AmBut you've packed and unpacke^D7d ^AmSo many times you've lost track ^D7 And the^G steam heat is^Gb7 dripp^F7in' o^E7ff the wa^E7add9lls

^AmBut when you hear his engines^D7 ^AmYou're lookin' through the window in^D7 the kitchen and you know You're^G always gonna^Gb7 be t^F7here w^E7hen he c^E7add9alls 'Cause he's a^Am truck drivin' ^D7man, ^AmStoppin' when he can^D7 He's a^Am truck drivin' man^D7, stop^Ampin' when he can ^D7
