Gallagher, Rory - Livin' Like A Trucker Lyrics






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...

    I accidentally saw Rory when he opened for ZZ TOP on the fandango tour. he came out and played with ZZ TOP in the encore, this was the song they did. Oh the memory is branded in my soul.

  7. W.... H....

    Hell of a song. raw

  8. b.... ....

    Passionate driving rock at its best- my Toyota turns into a 10 wheeler with a trailer when I put this on- and as so often with Rory, there's a melody underlying the momentum as well as switches in tempo- a true master of rock music.

  9. F.... v....

    I am thinking about the times i saw Rory Gallagher live...more than 10 times SWEET memories!!

    F.... v....

    I saw him once in 1979 in New Orleans and I consider myself very lucky.

  10. C.... ....

    I always loved this tune - especially the sound he gets for the outro solo - thanks for posting.
