Lyrics: Terry Fell
Music: Terry Fell
Played by the New Riders in the early 1970s.
I stopped at a roadhouse in Texas
A little place called Hamburger Dan's
I heard that old jukebox a-playin'
A song about a truck drivin' man
Chorus
Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
And I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play that truck drivin' man
The waitress just brought me some coffee
I thanked her but called her again
I said that old song sure does fit me
You know I'm a truck drivin' man
[chorus]
I climbed back aboard my old semi
And then like a flash I was gone
I got them old truck wheels a-rollin'
You know I'm on my way to San Antone
[chorus]
[chorus]
And play that truck drivin' man
