Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer - Truck Driving Woman

Truck Driving Woman
(Performed by Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer)


You see me on the highway
And you nearly shift your load
You take another look good buddy
And you nearly leave the road

Ain't you never seen a truck driving woman
Ninety pounds of fire in a five foot frame
And you better move on over
I'm right behind you in the left hand lane

When you see me in the truck stop
And my long hair hangs in curls
Don't you try to buy my coffee
I ain't no good time girl

No I'm a truck driving momma
Five children waiting when I end my run
And I gotta keep moving
Got to be in Georgia with the rising sun

So when you see me on the highway
And you hear my diesel moan
Don't you whistle at me buddy
'Cause you know I'm not alone

I got my old man beside me
Working together it's the way we feel
Yeah I'm a truck driving woman
Night haul from Pittsburgh with a load of steel
