[Verse 1]

Well, here's a story of gears and nerves

An old school trucker and big Kenworth

Two dinosaurs from way back when

Fiberglass was out and steel was in

[Verse 2]

Old Burt Reynolds ruled the silver screen

Everybody had a handle and a new C.B.

If you was rich or poor, it didn't mean nothing

If you didn't have a shirt that said, "Keep on truckin'"

[Verse 3]

Last week, I was eatin' at a truck stop diner

When a boy pulled in a new Freightliner

A sight to behold, he's a truckers dream

Fanciest paint I ever did seen

[Verse 4]

She had scoops and spoilers, so streamlined

She'd cut through the air like a new buck knife

She was force to be reckoned with

Intimidating to your average rig

[Verse 5]

Then this boy stepped out and began to brag

Said, "Theres never been a truck that was built this fast

Anybody want to race me, coast to coast?

We'll go title for title plus a few C-notes"

[Verse 6]

You know, I didn't hear anybody volunteer

So like a fool, I yelled out from the rear

Said, "I'll take your bet and leave you on the dust"

He said, "Okay, man, let me see your truck"

[Verse 7]

He's got eighteen wheels of trucking, goin' 'cross the USA

Put the pedal to the metal 'cause there ain't no time to waste

You know the back of his truck says R-O-Y

The name is Roy and I like to drive

[Verse 8]

I said, "Pay no mind to that oil drippin'

This old gal's made me a pretty good living

Haulin' anything, as long as it paid

From frozen chicken to toxic waste

Now, she don't have air, just a fan on the dash

Got tuck and roll leather and a custom shag

Farrah Fawcett poster pinned over my head

Thirty years of runnin', she ain't broke down yet"

[Verse 9]

It was all he could do not laugh

Said, "You never gonna make it in a rig like that"

Then he explained me the laws and mechanics

Of simple math and aerodynamics

[Verse 10]

Then he said, "You got yourself a deal, old man"

Then he shook my hand, said, "Here's the plan

We'll line 'em up at the edge of town

When they drop that flag, just hammer down"

[Verse 11]

I got a few supplies ever trucker needs

A box of crackers and a can of sardines

And the waitress said (Need anything else?)

Said, "A roll of them Tums sure would help"

[Verse 12]

Then I kissed the fenders just for luck

I climbed inside to start her up

I turned the key, she sputtered and coughed

Till she caught fire, and we took off

[Verse 13]

He's got eighteen wheels of trucking, goin' 'cross the USA

Put the pedal to the metal 'cause there ain't no time to waste

The back of his truck says R-O-Y

My name is Roy and I like to drive

[Verse 14]

Take it round again, boys

[Verse 15]

It was eighty, ninety, a hundred and ten

After fifteen miles, he was five ahead

So I dodged them scales, just tryna catch up

Breaking all the laws, man, what a rush

[Verse 16]

You know, I was runnin' good, but he was runnin' better

So now was the time for desperate measures

It was moral dilemma I had to face

If I didn't cheat, I's gonna lose this race

[Verse 17]

But I still had a trick left up my sleeve

There's a little red button hidden under my seat

Said, "Break glass if you're runnin' behind"

So I finally got to use my nitrous oxide

[Verse 18]

Well, it pinned me back, about broke my neck

Then I heard a growl I didn't expect

From deep in the engine like a grizzly bear

Sayin' theres a hole lot more horsepower to spare

[Verse 19]

What happened next, I can't explain

Both smoke stacks were spittin' flames

Headlights glowin' like a rig from hell

It was almost like she was drivin' herself

[Verse 20]

So I popped in an 8-track from 1970 and six

It had every one of those truckers' greatest hits

Six Days On The Road

Truck Drivin' Man

White Line Fever

You Roll On, Big Mama

Then, then Convoy came on, and I crunk her loud

I swear, all eighteen wheels come up off the ground

Like a time machine flyin' through sky

That's when I saw the Phantom 309

And the finish line

[Verse 21]

That boy finally pulled up, looked like whipped pup

Said, "Here's the keys and title to my truck

She's all yours, you won her fair and square"

I said, "I'll stick with my rig if you don't care"

[Verse 22]

He said, "Gee, thanks, mister, but I gotta ask

How in the world did you ever make it that fast and who are you?"

With a tear in his eye

I said, "My name is Roy, I like to drive"

[Verse 23]

Just watch old Roy run

[Verse 24]

I like to drive
