Lyrics: 

 You're a trucker
Hard driver
Mr. King of the Road
Feelin' lonely
Drinkin' coffee
If she had only ever known
Drove a lot today
Was it yesterday?
It's just a memory, you know
Can't dilute it
Or see to it
Roll through it
And you head home

There is a motel with a vacancy
There is no possibility
That you could drive yourself to ever be
The man you once were

So you're a trucker
Hard driver
Mr. King of the Road
Feelin' lonely
Drinkin' coffee
If she had only ever known
Drove a lot today
Was it yesterday?
It's just a memory you know
You can't see through it, roll to it
Roll through it
And head home

There is a motel with a vacancy
There is no possibility
That you could drive yourself to ever be
The man you once were

So you're a trucker
Hard driver
Mr. King of the Road
Feelin' lonely
Drinkin' coffee
If she had only ever known
Drove a lot today
Was it yesterday?
It's just a memory you know
You can't dilute it
Or see to it
Roll through it
And head home

There is a motel with a vacancy
There is no possibility
That you could drive yourself to ever be
The man you once were
