Versuri Red Simpson – Awful Lot to Learn About Truck Drivin' lyrics

I knew that someday I just had to be a truckdriver
‘Cause it holds a fascination for me
To have somebody payin’ me a livin’ wage
To drive all over the country

I told the man at the terminal, I’ll work real hard
Even eight or nine hours a day
I’ll never forget the way everybody laughed
At the things that I had to say

He said: You got an awful lot to learn about truck drivin’
And you better start a-learnin’ fast
You got an awful lot to
learn about truck drivin’
And we teach it in a special class

Yeah, you got an awful lot to learn about truck drivin’
And a whole lotta fuel to burn
Well, it’s a heck of a life bein’ married to a diesel
But son, you got an awful lot to learn

Well, the first rig I drove was a cabover jimmy
1
Stopped at every truckstop I would see
Bringin’ a hot coffee, talkin’ that trash to the waitress
Truckdriver with a capital ‘T’

I headed east in Louisiana, durned near passed Kelly’s
2
Hit the air
3
just to turn her around
When I finally got her stopped I was still headed east
But my trailer was Texas bound

Well, you got an awful lot to learn about truck drivin’
And you better start a-learnin’ fast
Yeah, you got an awful lot to learn about truck drivin’
And we teach it in a special class

Boy, you got an awful lot to learn about truck drivin’
And a whole lotta fuel to burn
It’s a heck of a life bein’ married to a diesel
But son, you got an awful lot to learn

Well, I ordered me a steak when six motorcycle riders came in
And started struttin’ their stuff
Sayin’ -Hey man, you one-a them truck drivers
That’s supposed to be so tough?

Well, they ruined my steak, so I just paid up and left
‘He ain’t so tough’, I heard one of ‘em shout
The waitress said: He ain’t much of a truckdriver, either,
He run over six motorcycles pullin’ out

I said: You boys got a lot to learn about truck drivin’
And you better start a-learnin’ it fast
Yeah, you got an awful lot to learn about truck drivin’
And we teach it in a special class

Boy, you got an awful lot to learn about truck drivin’
And a whole lotta fuel to burn
It’s a heck of a life bein’ married to a diesel
But son, you got an awf
ul lot to learn

It’s a heck of a life bein’ married to a diesel
But son, you got an awful lot to learn

Yeah, you gotta get that education
Learn how to make that lawbook out

Shift them gears, boy
Wrap that engine up
Hear it go…rrrumm rrrum rrrummmmm

And when you pass a Greyhound bus
You go like this
Ha ha ha ha ha…
