lyrics

I guess it's pretty safe to say it hasn't been a very good year
Most days I find myself reaching for the bourbon and beer
But I had a little visit from somebody last night in a dream
And I liked the words that I heard
This is what he said to me

And he said:
"Hey mother trucker, you just keep on trucking down the line.
Hey mother trucker in the end it's gonna turn out fine.
Before you know it you will find yourself riding down that long mother trucker of a highway in the sky.
Keep on trucking mother trucker you just keep on trucking down the line."

The only thing of which I am certain is that nothing is certain
No matter what they say, I pay attention to the man behind the curtain
And I never think that anything is ever really quite as it seems
But I liked the words that I heard that he kept saying to me

'cause he said:
"Hey mother trucker, you just keep on trucking down the line.
Hey mother trucker in the end it's gonna turn out fine.
Before you know it you will find yourself riding down that long mother trucker of a highway in the sky.
Keep on trucking mother trucker you just keep on trucking down the line."

Well I never really used to be too much of the spiritual kind
But as I'm getting older there's a lotta shit changing my mind
Like how I got a little visit from somebody last night in a dream
And I know I won't forget the words that he kept on saying to me

'cause he said:
"Hey mother trucker, you just keep on trucking down the line.
Hey mother trucker in the end it's gonna turn out fine.
Before you know it you will find yourself riding down that long mother trucker of a highway in the sky.
Keep on trucking mother trucker you just keep on trucking down the line."
