Trucker's Lingo

Trucker's lingo is a lanuage all its own.
One that should be heard by all upon the road.
The Trucker's talk in such a way that many do not understand.
But to listen to our words could keep you from Smokie's hands.
We tell each other of the hazards as to us safetly home.
Many miles have traveled beneath our wheels upon the this lonely road.
If only we coul tell the car that travels in our blind spot, that to do so
could very well place him in a pine box.
Should we blow a tire or some other unknown horror, could place him
in a world of hurt and make his family mourners.
Many think we are out here simply to play a part.
But to be a Truckdriver is simple it comes from the heart. 
You go to your nine to five job every day. While we put in a 14hr day.
Place your head upon your pillow and wake with the morning light.
While many of us trucker's have work through out the night.
DRIVE CAREFUL OUT THERE. THE LIFE YOU SAVE COULD BE MINE.
