Some days I don't know if I'll make it by The price of diesel's gettin' mighty high I live on caffeine and borrowed time Stretchin' a nickel into a dime The G man, the T man, the highway cop Try to slow me down but they can't make me stop
I, I keep on truckin' (keep on truckin') Yeah, I keep on truckin' (keep on truckin') These 18 wheels ain't stoppin' for nothin' When the goin' gets tough I just keep on truckin'
Stopped Friday night down in Louisiane Groovin' to the tunes of the roadhouse band Raisin' the roof off that little bar Sweatin' out a tune for a tip in a jar More power to ya, if ya do what ya love Keep pushin' back when push comes to shove
Keep on truckin' (keep on truckin') Yeah, I keep on truckin' (keep on truckin') Hey, man, don't show down and don't stop for nothin' When the goin' gets tough, you just keep on truckin'
I try to keep my life on the centre line The Devil's always messin' with my mind (He pulls me to the left, he pulls me to the right) We end up in the ditch in a helluva fight Well, sometimes I lose, baby, sometimes I win I'll always end up on a highway again
And I keep on truckin' (keep on truckin') Yeah, I keep on truckin' (keep on truckin') When the hill gets steep and it starts to rain I just get down and hit the hammer again
'Cause I keep on truckin' (keep on truckin') Yeah, you know, I keep on truckin' (keep on truckin') These 18 wheels they ain't stoppin' for nothin' When the goin' gets tough I just keep on truckin'
