    Story Behind the Song
    I've always liked "Truck Driving Songs. Sometime in the early 1980s I decided to write one. I don't really know what came first, the title or the line "I ain't driving no slow load". Whichever it was, it just kept growing. When I started building the music, I was looking for a road sound feel with changes of pace appropriate to the lyrics

    Lyrics
    Truck Driving Fool

    I ain't driving no slow load.
    Then, again, I'm in no hurry.
    At the end of the line, I got no place to go,
    But that ain't no cause for worry.
    That ain't no cause to worry.

    I feel no need of having a home,
    Or something, sure to come home to.
    I'm not afraid of being alone,
    And most of the time I don't have to.
    Most of the time I don't have to.

    I'm a truck driving fool.
    I've got this urge to roam.
    I'm a truck driving fool.
    The highway is my home.
    The highway is my home.

    Roaming from Portland to Miami,
    From New York, down to Frisco Bay.
    I never worry much 'bout Ol' Smoky,
    'Cause I usually can stay out of his way.
    I usually can stay out of his way.

    Now, sometimes, I'll meet a real woman,
    Who wants me to come and settle down.
    I tell her it's no good 'cause I'm a truck driving fool,
    But, I see her, whenever I'm in town.
    I see her, whenever I'm in town.

    And sometimes, I get weary.
    Sometimes the business is slow,
    But weariness will pass, when I step on the gas.
    There always seems to be another load.
    There always seems to be another load.

    I'm a truck driving fool.
    I've got this urge to roam.
    I'm a truck driving fool.
    The highway is my home.
    The highway is my home.
