| Truck Drivers and Salesman
***********************
Truck drivers and salesmen are men of the road;
One ‘Loads his holler’,
While one ‘Hauls his load’...
Before you fall for one
It’s best that you knew:
Truck drivers and salesmen
Are just ‘Passing through’...
It’s true that they do seem different, sometimes,
The way they may dress,
And, oh yes, different ‘Lines’...
But, they share the ‘Feel’ of the ‘Flight of the free’,
And, their’s is the ‘World’ That awaits them to ‘See’...
Sometimes, they get lonely;
Sometimes, they get down...
They know that they’ve only
A short time in town...
Then, when they meet ‘Someone’,
As, sometimes, they do:
Truck drivers and salesmen
Are just ‘Passing through’...
Yes, they must atone for the life that they’ve led,
They could be at home With a ‘Sweet wife’, instead...
But, they choose ‘The road’,
Chose to ‘Follow a Star',
I suppose that's what makes them the 'Men that they are'...

| I really, really like this! Not crazy about the second verse, not a real flow there for me,
but love the other three.
Thanks for posting - have known both and like your insight.
