I drove a big old truck from Mississippi all the way cross country to Frisco I got another load then I was on my way again back to where that Mississippi flows I like to hear that rhythm as that motor purrs along And them big wheels a keep rollin' clear and free I'd rather drive a truck than to be a millionaire it's the only life for me Cause my grandpa drove a mule train and my pa a riverboat And I just a like a them I'm gonna see lots of land My grandpa drove a mule train and my pa a riverboat I'm just like them I'm a motivatin' man [ Guitar ] I met a pretty girl while down in Dallas I thought that we would marry up But I lost my nerve when we got to the church And I climbed back aboard my old truck For I got to thinkin' things over married life is not for me I'm sure I don't want a woman to tell me that I can't drive my truck anymore Cause my grandpa drove a mule train... I'm just like them I'm a motivatin' man
