The Truckers life!

Written by James Stanley Howen - Copyright Original Music 1984, 2016

This is a song I wrote when I began my trucking career so many years ago. I always wanted to make a video of what I saw as the trucker life.


You’d think a man has to be out of his mind
To make a livin’ hearin’ that old engine whine
Bein’ away from his family and home
They miss him and he is always alone

CHORUS
And when you lay my tired body down to rest
Remember that I, I loved you all the best

Some boys they have dreams from the time they’re so young
A restless feelin’ that flows in their blood
A road to glory the American dream
Rollin’ a nation he struggles to stay free

REPEAT CHORUS

Then the day it will come when you’ve seen it all
And the dreams of a boy hang like paintings on the wall
Then you will know that it all came with a price
All that time alone you have missed that other life x

Winnebago Pop-Top Adventure Van
Bearing witness to a trucker's calling/life, "a restless feeling/a road to glory", charmin' vocal and production rocks, EG & piano & organ, recalls John Prine, esp. in the 1st verse, remarkable, kudos...
