- Songwriters: Buck Owens, Red Simpson
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 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
