Breaker number nine, big buddy, put your ears on me now
This trucker got to have a big line tonight
Come on sucker, come back Brother Trucker yeah
I keep seeing double unless I close one eye

And I've got to roll, roll, roll Brother Trucker
Sure nuff ashamed about the shape I'm in
Roll, roll, roll Brother Trucker, I'm back on my wheels again
Roll, roll, roll Brother Trucker, someone to love the truck driving man now
Roll, roll, roll Brother Trucker, I'm back on my wheels again

I'm a driving fool, I make my own rules
One part man and one part mule, one part fossil fuel
I got the heart of steel, I pull eighteen wheels
Mister Nine to Five in his Coupe de Ville
No, never know how it feels

To really roll, roll, roll Brother Trucker
Holding my own just the best as I can
Roll, roll, roll Brother Trucker, I'm back on my wheels again
Roll, roll, roll Brother Trucker, outward bound from South Bend
Roll, roll, roll Brother Trucker, I'm back on my wheels again

Moon over New Jersey, big state police here
Well, I'm in a hurry, could you let me go in peace?
I'm an independent, I don't make no Teamster dough
Cause the A.F.L. and the C.I.O. still don't own the road
And the only man telling me where to go is the man who owns my load
He says roll, roll, roll Brother Trucker
I say where and you say when
Roll, roll, roll, Brother Trucker, get back on your wheels again
Roll, roll, roll, Brother Trucker, turn the goddamn thing around and do it again
Roll, roll, roll, Brother Trucker, back on my wheels again

Fat bucket, I'm back on my wheels again
I am running out of whites
Goddam, dim them headlights now
Two hours sleep in the last two nights
But that won't be alright tonight
I am hot as a pistol, dry as a bone
I'm coming on home and I hope my bed's alone

Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
