(VERSE 1)

Em           Am
My sweetest love

Em
Forever I’ve known

Em           Am            B D
Cause I am a truck driving man

Em                Am
I’ve driven these roads

Em             C
From coast to coast

Em         B             Em 
Seen every corner of the land


(VERSE 2)
Down in the south
I had a gal
Whose daddy was as rich as a king
She begged me to stay
Offerin’ me the world
If I would only buy her a ring


(CHORUS)
         G                   
I said, “I’ve got a truck

C
And a trailer to haul

G                     B      E    D C
And a heart that can only be true”

G              B        E    D     C 
I scorned the love of a rich man’s daughter

G    C       B   A   G
All for the love of you


(VERSE 3)
I could have been
A company man
Watched the work get done
I could have even been the president
After her daddy passed on


(CHORUS)
But I’ve got a truck with a trailer to haul
And a heart that can only be true
I scorned the heart of a rich man’s daughter
All for the love of you

(G  O... Same as Verse)

(VERSE 4)
So come away with me
I’ve got all that we need
If the highway is my kingdom you can be my queen
But we really gotta hurry
I owe that rich girl some money
And I hear her daddy’s looking for me -
[but it’s not my child!]


(CHORUS)
But I’ve got a truck and a trailer to haul
And a heart that can only be true
I scorned the heart of a rich man’s daughter
All for the love of you
(D PEAT CHORUS)
I’ve got a truck and a trailer to haul
And a heart that can only be true
I scorned the love of a rich man’s daughter
All for the love of you
