Verse 1
C majorC   G+G             A augmentedA
On the road you must be brave and tireless
C majorC   G+G             A augmentedA
On the road you can listen to the wireless
C majorC          A augmentedA       E minorEm
On the road you eat café food with pride
              D MajorD A augmentedA
And you can throw it up outside

Bridge 1
  B minorBm
The greatest kick in trucking comes from knocking down a biker
  A augmentedA
Or swinging round a roundabout and picking up a hiker
    G+G
You're chatting up that piece of skirt who's sitting by your side
   E minorEm              F# minorF#m    A augmentedA
Then pop the crucial question - a ride for a ride

Bridge 2
  B minorBm
Perhaps the greatest laugh of all that makes this life worthwhile
  A augmentedA
Is waving on the car behind giving him a smile
   G+G
With glasses and with gratitude he revs his little load
  E minorEm               F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
And meets another trucking truck a-trucking down the road

Verse 2
C majorC   G+G             A augmentedA
On the road you must be tough and ruthless
C majorC    G+G             A augmentedA
And the rumours that we're gay are truthless
C majorC          A augmentedA           E minorEm
On the road you can wear your shirtsleeves rolled
              A augmentedA  D MajorD
You eat chocolate when it's cold
    G+G                   D MajorD
From behind we like to sneak up on you from behind
   G+G             A augmentedA
Never mind if you hit 'em never mind
