Cowboy Dave - Mama Drove a Big Rig Lyrics

Mama was a truck driving mother
But that don't mean that we didn't love her
Man, she did the best she could to try to raise five children
Driving that big rig for a living
Rocked 13 gears in her old Freightliner
Right between the lines is where you'd find her
Doing what she could for me and my brothers
Yeah, my mama was a truck driving mother
Every Monday morning, man, she'd head for the rig
Cheap sunglasses, cup of coffee and a cig
We'd all wave goodbye as she loaded up to go
Heading down the road for New Mexico
She never popped pills, but she hit the coffee hard
Never missed a stop at the Joplin 44
She didn't take no lip, man, she'd set them all straight
Hauling car parts to the mitten state
Mama was a truck driving mother
But that don't mean that we didn't love her
Man, she did the best she could to try to raise five children
Driving that big rig for a living
Rocked 13 gears in her old Freightliner
Right between the lines is where you'd find her
Doing what she could for me and my brothers
Yeah, my mama was a truck driving mother
Well, grandma met grandpa out on I-95
They always left my mama on her own to survive
She swore she'd never do what her momma did
She knew what it was like to be a trucker's kid
But true to her genes, she had a natural grasp
Pink-covered bible laid out on the dash
Read Proverbs 31 when she thought about her trade
Let her deeds praise her at the city gates
Mama was a truck driving mother
But that don't mean that we didn't love her
Man, she did the best she could to try to raise five children
Driving that big rig for a living
Rocked 13 gears in her old Freightliner
Right between the lines is where you'd find her
Doing what she could for me and my brothers
Yeah, my mama was a truck driving mother
Mama was a truck driving mother
