Ricki the Runner
I am a driver
For Eastern Van Lines
Pittsburgh to Boston
I'm always on time

They gave me a Kenworth
'Til my Peterbilt's fixed
My handles "The Runner"
My friend's call me Rick

(Chorus)
I'm Ricki the Runner
Got a highway for dreams
And eighteen wheels rolling down 84 East
And there's no one back home waiting for me
But who cares? Whose back there?
This truck is all I need

Well I used to be a teacher
In a "Learn-to-Drive" school
And then I got married
Hell I was a fool
I got a daughter in college
Gets from her brains from her ma
Well, I never go see here
I'd feel funny somehow
(Chorus)

That's right

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)

That is my story
No, there's not much to say
I'm just a truck driver
But I like it this way
Ricki the Runner
Ricki the Runner
Ricki the Runner
That's me
