Jeff's Song Lyrics

I'D RATHER DRIVE MY TRACTOR"
© 2004 Lyrics By Jeff Dearman



She got up and left me
About 10 years ago.
All she left were some photos, some flowers, and a
goodbye note.
She said , you're always on the highway going from job
to job.
When are you going to settle on down here and raise
your son?
I've tried waiting up for you almost every night But
you never show up you're always busy this life just
isn't working out right.

I said don't you know I'm tryin
Inside my heart is dying
Don't' leave me here crying all alone.
If you leave I'll try to write you, email, and call
you on the phone - yeeee hoooo.
If I had my choice I'd I'd rather have you by my side
than a million bucks.
Yeah I'd rather drive my tractor than this big old
truck.


Chorus:
I'd rather drive my tractor than this big rig truck
I'd rather have you back here, and a little bit of
luck.
I'd rather collect my paycheck than head out to work
I'd rather have you by my side than a million bucks.
Yeah I'd rather drive my tractor than this big old
truck.

Bridge:
So she said I'm gone. I'm taking our son.
Up to my home in Wis-Con-sin.
I used to love you but I've had enough!
Yeah why couldn't you drive a tractor.
Instead of that dang old truck.

A truckers job is never done
sometimes it seems there's no time for love.
The only love we have sometimes
is a love for the open road.
A truckers job is long and hard
I miss playing with our kids in our backyard
I wish I could come back to our farmhouse
back in our Nebraska Farm!

Yeah ----
Chorus:
I'd rather drive my tractor than this big rig truck
I'd rather have you back here, and a little bit of
luck.
I'd rather collect my paycheck than head out to work
I'd rather have you by my side than a million bucks.
Yeah I'd rather drive my tractor than this big old
truck.
