Hey Gang,

I have written some songs that I've not yet sold. I need to, or at least have a singer or two record some some of my originals and share in the profits. You will hear the music as you read the lyrics...

Truck Drivers And Salesmen
************************
Chorus:
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’...

Verse 1:
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’...

Chorus:

Verse 2:
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’...

Verse 3:
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...

Chorus:

Loved your song. I would love to sing it but I am afraid it wouldn't sound too great in my soprano voice. I write poetry and have several piece posted on this site. I even wrote a hymn (just the words not the music) and my church choir sang it. You should copyright your work though. It is too good to lose.
