It Didn't Fall from the Sky (Trucking Uncle Sam)

THERE'S A LONELY STRETCH OF ASPHALT HEAT

THERE'S AN 18 WHEELER 75 FEET LONG WITH A HERO IN THE SEAT

HE CAN'T SHUT DOWN HEAR THAT DIESEL ROAR

HE FOLLOWED HIS DADDY LIKE HIS DADDY BEFORE

GRINDING OUT THOSE MILES WITH THE HAMMER DOWN

FOOT IN THE FLOOR

AND HE LIVES A LIFE WE COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND

BUT THERE'S FOOD ON YOUR TABLE

HE’S A TRUCKING UNCLE SAM

IT DIDN'T FALL FROM THE SKY

IT DIDN'T MAGICALLY APPEAR

IT WAS BROUGHT HERE ON HIS BACK SHIFTING TEN HARD GEARS

COUNTING 18 WHEELS 80,000 POUND STACK

IT DIDN'T FALL FROM THE SKY

IT WAS CARRIED ON HIS BACK

HE’S LOADED DOWN AND EAST COAST BOUND

CAUSE THERES A DOCTOR AND NURSE AND THEIR CALLING OUT THEIR ON SHAKEY GROUND

5000 MILES AND THE WEEKS LONG GONE

JUST THE SOUND OF THE ROAD AND THE DIESEL MOAN

GOTTA MAKE THIS DROP AND HEAD BACK FOR MORE

GRINDING OUT THOSE MILES MILE AFTER MILE

FOOT ON THE FLOOR

HE DRIVES THOSE MILES HE’S A SIGHT UNSEEN

FROM THAT FARM TO THE TABLE

THERE'S SOME GEAR JAMMING IN BETWEEN

HE CAN'T SHUT DOWN

STACKS CAN'T GROW COLD

HE’S ONE THE ROAD JUST LOAD HIM DOWN

AND AWAY HE GOES
