Ten Tonne Truck

Daddy born poor, Mama was too

Walkin' through the snow, plastic bags on their shoes

Papa sellin' houses, sleepin' in a car

Four babies in the backseat, underneath the stars

Well, hey, hey, just work a little harder

Hey, hey, punchin' that clock

With work and prayer and a little bit of luck

Make so much money, need a ten tonne truck

Well the bank took the house when Daddy lost his job

Put a hitch on the back of Mama's little silver Dodge

Drove with nothin' but our clothes and guitars

Right down to Nashville, gonna be big stars

Hey, hey, just work a little harder

Hey, hey, punchin' that clock

With work and prayer and a little bit of luck

Make so much money, need a ten tonne truck

Well you scratch and you claw and you try to make a livin'

And pay dues, get moved right back to the beginning

When the pie gets bigger, everybody wants a slice

What I been cookin' since back in '89

Well, hey, hey, just work a little harder

Hey, hey, punchin' that clock

With work and prayer and a little bit of luck

Make so much money, need a ten tonne truck
