Woman Behind The Man Behind The Wheel

Those hard drivin' truckers
 Gear jammin' day and night
 Have got a real tough job to stand up to
 By ballin' down the highway
 In a big long diesel rig
 It's not a job just anyone can do
 But there's a lot of credit due
 To a fine group of girls
 They're the truckers wives
 who wait for their men
 When they kiss them goodbye
 And watch the tail lights fade
 It's a lonely wait until they're home again
 He may be gone three days
 Or maybe two weeks
 And everything is left in her care
 Like payin' bills and cuttin' grass
 And fixin' kids their meals
 She's the woman behind
 the man behind the wheel
 Instrumental
 This special breed of woman
 Has to share a love affair
 With that long stretch
 of highway on his mind
 But she knows that he loves her
 More than anything
 She's a truckers wife
 and that's the greatest kind
 And as he sips his coffee
 You can bet she's on his mind
 When he's drivin' down
 that highway all alone
 And that sleeper sure gets lonely
 Parked at a big truck stop
 Compared to being in her arms at home
 Now we've sung songs and praises
 About the truckin' men
 And they're true let's save one little spiel
 For all the truckers wives
 Because after all
 She's the woman behind
 the man behind the wheel
 She's the woman behind
 the man behind the wheel
