(bill fries, chip davis)
[clap your hands and stomp your feet.]
Well, Ive walked the line on 89
In the arizona sun
Ive chased the moon and Ive caught a star
On u.s. one-oh-one
Ive seen the sights from the northern lights
To the bend in the rio grande
Ive took in a lot of this u.s.a.
cause Ive trucked all over this land
[start the banjo pickin.]
Well, Ive changed a tire by the light of a fire
On the rock-bound coast of maine
Ive shoveled snow up in idaho
Been stuck on the kansas plains
Ive been to the end of the world and back
With a wheel and a stick in my hands
Ive passed the test and Ive done my best
Ive trucked all over this land
[chorus]
Ive trucked all over this land
From maine to the rio grande
Ive paid the price of a truckin life
But Ive trucked all over this land
[lots of banjo pickin here.]
Ive heard the wail of a gallopin gale
On the road to the florida keys
Ive felt the roar of a thunderstorm
On the oklahoma seas
Ive set my sail on the oregon trail
Ive camped in a redwood stand
Ive loved the best and Ive hated the rest
But Ive trucked all over this land
[chorus]
Ive trucked all over this land
From maine to the rio grande
Ive paid the price of a truckin life
But Ive trucked all over this land
[more banjo pickin here.]
Ive said a prayer as I climbed the stairs
On the rocky mountain side
Ive learned the words and Ive sung my song
And Ive travelled far and wide
Ive fought the fight and Ive done all right
For the likes of a wanderin man
Ive paid the price of a truckin life
But Ive trucked all over this land
[chorus]
Well, Ive trucked all over this land
From maine to the rio grande
Ive paid the price of a truckin life
But Ive trucked all over this land
Yeah Ive trucked all over this land
From maine to the rio grande
Ive paid the price of a truckin life
But Ive trucked all over this land
