Lyrics
There are four chairs and three plates and a hole in my life.
That is the way of a truck drivers life.
And the kids are all growing up fast while you're gone,
But the nights and the days keep dragging on.
And it's hard to be a truck driver's woman,
The wife of a long- hauling man.
It's hard to be a truck driver's woman,
But I am doing the best that I can.
The washer it's broken, the pickup it quite,
Last night little Joey, he came down real sick,
And some times I'm scared and lonely at night
But that is the way of a truck drivers wife.
And it's hard to be a truck driver's woman,
The wife of a long-hauling man.
It's hard to be a truck driver's woman,
But I am doing the best that I can.
And I hear a song on the radio, talking about
A hard loving, sweet talking man, but you won't be home for
A week or so, that's the way in the life of the wife of
Truck driving man.
And it's hard to be a truck driver's woman,
The wife of a long-hauling man.
It's hard to be a truck driver's woman,
But I am doing the best that I can.
