Well, I stopped at a road house in Texas A little place called Hamburger Dan's Heard that old jukebox start playin' A tune called the truck drivin' man
The waitress then brought me up some coffee I thanked her then called her again I said that old song sure does fit me Cause I'm a truck drivin' man
Pour me another cup of coffee For it is the best in the land And put a nickel in the jukebox And play the Truck Drivin' Man
Well, I climbed back aboard my old semi And then like a flash I was gone I got them old truck wheels a rollin' Now, I'm on my way to San Antone
When I get my call up to glory They will take me away from this land I'll head this truck up to heaven Cause' I'm a Truck Drivin' Man
Pour me another cup of coffee For it is the best in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox And play that Truck Drivin' Man And play that Truck Drivin' Man

Truck Drivin' Man Lyrics

The Night We Met Lord Huron This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:"I had all and then most of you"Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart"Some and now none of you"Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why" Holiday Bee Gees @[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him. When We Were Young Blink-182 This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly. American Town Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance. Page Ed Sheeran There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Co-writer Connie Harrington was inspired to write it after hearing an interview on Here and Now with a father, Paul Monti, whose son, Medal of Honor recipient Jared, was killed in Afghanistan while trying to save a fellow soldier. In the interview, he states that he drives the truck to feel close to his son.
When the songwriting team of Connie Harrington, Jessi Alexander and Jimmy Yeary finished "I Drive Your Truck," they knew this wasn't an ordinary song. It wasn't even an ordinary hit song. It was something truly special. And to pull it off, to make it work, they also knew they needed to find the right type of singer.
Ultimately, it was Elvis' trucking career that led him to a successful music career! Elvis Presley graduated high school in 1953. After graduation, Elvis took after his father, who was also a truck driver and took a job driving a truck for Crown Electric.
Prior to his career as an actor, Liam Neeson was a truck driver for Guinness Brewery. It was, in fact, his driving instructor who encouraged him to take up acting.
