I drove a big ol' truck from Mississippi All the way across country to FriscoI got another load, then I was on my way again Back to where that Mississippi flowsI like to hear that rhythm as that motor purrs along And them big whales keep a-rollin' clear and freeI'd rather drive a truck than to be a millionaire It's the only life for meMy grandpa drove a mule train and my car a river boat And just like them I'm gonna see lots of landMy grandpa drove a mule train and my car a river boat I'm just like them, a motivated manI met a pretty girl while down in Dallas I thought that we would marry upBut I lost my nerve when we got to church And I climbed by the door in my old truckBoy, I got to thinkin' things over Married life is not for me, I'm sureI don't want a woman to tell me That I can't drive my truck anymoreMy grandpa drove a mule train and my car a river boat And just like them I'm gonna see lots of landMy grandpa drove a mule train and my car a river boat I'm just like them, a motivated manI'm just like them, I'm a motivated man
