Lyrics Rory Gallagher

Rory Gallagher

Livin' Like a Trucker

Well I've been livin' like a trucker,

For a month or more.

Well, I'm steaming like a diesel,

That cannot feel it's throat.

Well, I'm closing all the windows,

Keeping out the rain.

But, I'm not complaining,

In fact I'd do it all again.

I'm a ramblin' man,

Cannot stop a travlin' man.

I've been singing for my supper,

But I never get to eat.

Well I queue up at the diner.

But I cannot find a seat.

Well, I've been livin' like a gypsy,

Feeling like a king.

Really feel like singin'..you know,

That's the mood I'm in.

I'm a ramblin' man,

Some kind of travlin' man.

You'll never catch me working 9 to 5,

That's for some people, but me I wanna ride.

All around the world, to the planets end,

I've seen some places, but more I ain't seen yet.

Yeah...

Lose an hour, gain an hour,

Somewhere on a map.

Flying through the time zone,

Another plane to catch.

Why I've always gotta see what's on the other side,

So I pack my bag.

Get on my way.

And catch my train and ride.

I've been livin' like a hawker,

In days both hot and cold.

Well, I'm sleeping if I have to,

Before the wagons roll.

Well, I've been hopin' and I've been prayin,

Since I was last here.

Tell your mama not to worry,

Come on baby, get on up here.

I'm a ramblin' man,

Some kind of travlin' man.

Well I've been livin' like a trucker,

For a month or more.

Well, I'm steaming like a diesel,

That cannot feel it's throat.

Well, I'm closing all the windows,

Keeping out the rain.

But, you won't hear me complaining,

In fact I'd do it all again.

I'm a travlin' man,

Some kind of ramblin' man.

Yes, I'd do it all again.

I'd do it all again, baby.

Travlin' man, travlin' man.

Yeah...
