I like trucking and I like to truck

I like trucking I like trucking

If you don't like trucking....tough luck

Verse 1

C      G                          A
On the road you must be brave and tireless

C      G                          A
On the road you can listen to the wireless

C                   A              Em
On the road you eat café food with pride

                           D  A
And you can throw it up outside

Bridge 1

    Bm
The greatest kick in trucking comes from knocking down a biker

   A
Or swinging round a roundabout and picking up a hiker

       G
You're chatting up that piece of skirt who's sitting by your side

     Em                           F#m        A
Then pop the crucial question - a ride for a ride

Bridge 2

   Bm
Perhaps the greatest laugh of all that makes this life worthwhile

   A
Is waving on the car behind giving him a smile

     G
With glasses and with gratitude he revs his little load

    Em                             F#m               A
And meets another trucking truck a-trucking down the road

Verse 2

C      G                          A
On the road you must be tough and ruthless

C       G                          A
And the rumours that we're gay are truthless

C                   A                      Em
On the road you can wear your shirtsleeves rolled

                            A   D
You eat chocolate when it's cold

       G                                      D
From behind we like to sneak up on you from behind

      G                         A
Never mind if you hit 'em never mind
