"From Here To There And Back" lyrics

A truckie's reputation is anything but good
But we'd never see you stranded, we'd do the best we could
Yeah, we push 'em through the cities, from coast to coast and back
We drive the mighty semis, the Volvo and the Mack

Oh, it may not be the brightest one, this job we have to do
But still there must be someone to get the semis through
Yeah, we take 'em through the country, we push 'em constantly
We drive the mighty semis, the Merc and BMC

Oh, the miles are long and many, and the comforts short and few
But the wheels are kept a-rollin' to get the cargo through
Oh, we shove 'em o'er the desert, we do the best we can
We drive the mighty semis, the Leyland and the MAN

The thankless miles are many that we sleep behind the wheel
But a catnap in the cabin will straighten out the keel
Oh, we push 'em on, regardless, we roll 'em day and night
We drive the mighty semis, the Transtar and the White

Oh, the purring of the Jimmies, three hundred horses strong
Makes the mighty Kenworth move the load along
Oh, we push 'em 'cross the country, to get from here to there
We're the boys that drive the semis from here to Lord-knows-where

The heavy rig beneath us, we handle, no mistake
No matter what condition, no matter what the make
Hey, we tail them through the hardships on every western track
We're the boys that drive the semis, from here to there and back
