[Verse 1] Well, I asked an old truck driver About life out on the road If he does a lot of singing (Riff) A When he's bringing in his load If there's a pretty waitress crying for him Every hundred miles If he gets a lot of loving If he has a lot of smiles And I asked him if those trucking songs Tell about a life like his He said, if you want to know the truth about it Here's the way it is [Pre-Chorus] All I do is drive, drive, drive Try to stay alive (Riff) A And keep my mind on my load Keep my eye upon the road [Chorus] I got nothing in common with any man Who's home every day at five All I do is drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive [Solo] |------------| |------------| |------------| A-0-1-2-2-1------------| E----------2b-0--4-3-2-0------------=------------| [Verse 2] Well, we shared a cup of coffee Then I had to warm it up And his greasy fingers trembled (Riff)A As he held onto the cup And I said, don't you hear a lot of music See a lot of sights But if you'll tune into the Grand Ole Opry Saturday night I will dedicate you a trucking song To which you can relate He said, you just do the singing And I'll do the driving mate [Pre-Chorus] All I do is drive, drive, drive Try to stay alive (Riff) A And keep my mind on my load Keep my eye upon the road [Chorus] I got nothing in common with any man Who's home every day at five All I do is drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive [Outro] If I can get the fuel Fuel

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la vie d'un chauffeur de camion qui passe son temps sur la route. Il décrit son quotidien fait de solitude et de répétition, loin des joies familiales que d'autres pourraient connaître. Au fil d'une conversation, il partage ses réflexions sur le travail, le manque de contact humain et le lien ténu qu'il entretient avec le monde qui l'entoure. Le refrain souligne sa réalité : tout ce qu'il fait, c'est conduire, avec pour seule rêve de rester en vie sur la route. Dans ce contexte, la chanson illustre la vie des routiers, souvent méconnue, où l'isolement et la routine dominent. C'est un témoignage sincère d'un monde en mouvement, où la route est à la fois un refuge et une prison.
