Truck Driver

"Truck Driver" is the 4th track from SPARKLE like you mean it: ROBEE'S BALLAD by Robee Sonee and the Tomgirls. It is a cover of "Truck Drivin' Song" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Yankovic's original song is intended to be a humorous juxtaposition of a rugged male voice and themes about a profession typically associated with men contrasted with lyrics that suggest the protagonist is a woman or transvestite. The comedy is likely over Chris's head, and the song was probably chosen as a proud anthem of his Tomgirl lifestyle.

Lyrics
I'm drivin' a truck Drivin' a big ol' truck Pedal to the metal, hope I don't run out of luck Rollin' down the highway until the break of dawn Drivin' a truck with my high heels on

My diesel rig is northward bound It's time to put that hammer down Just watchin' as the miles go flyin' by I'm ridin' twenty tons of steel But it's sure hard to hold the wheel While I'm waiting for my nails to dry

Oh, I always gotta check my lipstick in that rear view mirror And my pink angora sweater fits so tight I'm jammin' gears and haulin' freight Well, I sure hope my seams are straight Lord, don't let my mascara run tonight

Because I'm drivin' a truck Drivin' a big ol' truck Smokey's on my tail and my accelerator's stuck Got these eighteen wheels-a-rollin' until the break of dawn Drivin' a truck with my high heels on

Oh, I don't mind when my crotchless panties creep right up on me And my nipple rings don't bother me too much But when I hit those big speed bumps My darling little rhinestone pumps Keep slippin' off the mother-lovin' crutch

But still I'm drivin' a truck Drivin' a big ol' truck Headin' down the interstate, just tryin' to make a buck Wearin' feather boas with sequins and chiffon While I'm drivin' a truck with my high heels on

I'm drivin' a truck Drivin' a truck Got a load to carry and some eyebrows left to pluck And I'm late for my appointment down at my hair salon So I'll be drivin' a truck with my high heels on
