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

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
