Freightliner Cowboy (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2007) (song#4522)

When I was just a little boy
My daddy told me lots of tales
All about great gandpa Troy
Ridin’ all those cattle trails

I guess you can say I was impressed
Down to my very heart and soul
Cause I still dream of the ‘ol wild west
Though it’s taken quite a toll

I don’t wear spurs that jingle at my feet
And my cell phone don’t need a wire
My big ‘ol diesel is the king of the fleet
Cause I’m a Freightliner cowboy flyer

Some say this truckin’ life is suicidal
But I see it as my rising star
Once in a while I let my big diesel idle
And strum a song on my guitar

– instrumental –

I sing about a girl I used to know
Of days that have come and gone
But now I just ride the open road
On this freightliner I call home

I don’t wear spurs that jingle at my feet
And my cell phone don’t need a wire
My big ‘ol diesel is the king of the fleet
Cause I’m a Freightliner cowboy flyer
