[Intro]
G Bb C Bb G (x2)
[Verse 1]
I'm a [G]road man, a load man
[Bb]18 wheels and a serious plan
Ain't [C]nothing gonna go gettin' outa hand
While [Bb]I'm [C]behind the [G]wheel
[G]I'm on fire, and I'm wired
[Bb]Full of diesel and ready for hire
[C]While I'm building a rollin' empire
Of [Bb]blood [C]sweat and [G]steel
[Verse 2]
I don't [G]waste time, I make time
[Bb]Tearin' a strip off the white line
I'm a [C]professional man, I'm a one of a kind
And I [Bb]know how t[C]o bring i[G]t in
I got a [G]clean slate in five states
And [Bb]twenty-nine that ain't so great
And [C]fourteen that'll have to wait,
And [Bb]two I've [C]never [G]been
[Chorus]
[G]I'm a road hammer
A [Bb]white-knuckled steel-gear jammer
A [C]rig-jockey highway slammer
I'm just [Bb]doin' what I [C]gotta [G]do
[G]I'm a road hammer
A [Bb]double-talkin' C-B rambler
I'll [C]haul your load from Alabama
[Bb]All the way to [C]Timbuk[G]tu
[Verse 3]
I've hauled [G]left coast to west coast
[Bb]California sun where they're chillin' the most
I follow [C]309, the teddy bear's ghost
[Bb]All the way to [C]New Or[G]leans
I've been from [G]Thunder Bay, to P-A
[Bb]All the way down to F-L-A
And [C]every little town along the way
They're ain't [Bb]much that I [C]haven't [G]seen
[Chorus]
[G]I'm a road hammer
A [Bb]white-knuckled steel-gear jammer
A [C]rig-jockey highway slammer
I'm just [Bb]doin' what I [C]gotta [G]do
[G]I'm a road hammer
A [Bb]double-talkin' C-B rambler
I'll [C]haul your load from Alabama
[Bb]All the way to [C]Timbuk[G]tu
[Bridge]
[G] [/] [Bb] A[C]no[/]ther day, another town
[D] [/] Di[E]es[/]el[/] u[/]p, and hammer down!

[Verse 4]
I got a [G]pimped ride, pretty bride,
[Bb]Four little babies and my hound reside
[C]Back in the hills on the mountainside
[Bb]South of the [C]river [G]bend
I got my [G]cellphone, on roam
[Bb]Sweet little thing wants to get it on
She says I [C]left something turned on at home
She can't [Bb]wait till I'm [C]back [G]again!
[Chorus]
[G]I'm a road hammer
A [Bb]white-knuckled steel-gear jammer
A [C]rig-jockey highway slammer
