Heart Like A Truck Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never stay in one place too long
The dirt road's singin' me a siren song
I gotta find a field
I need to spin my wheels
I gotta hankerin' for four wide tires
And I can't help it, it's the way I'm wired
Boy, you get too close
Boy, you need to know


[Chorus]
I got a heart like a truck
It's been drug through the mud
Runs on dreams and gasoline
And that old highway holds the key
It's got a lead foot down when it's leavin'
Lord knows it's taken a hell of a beatin'
A little bit of love is all that it's needin'
But it's good as it is tough
I got a heart like a truck

[Verse 2]
There ain't no brakin' when I throw it in drive
Don't always keep it in-between the lines
If you're a ready for a ridе, pedal-down state of mind
Boy, I tell you what, you bеtter buckle up
[Chorus]
I got a heart like a truck
It's been drug through the mud
Runs on dreams and gasoline
And that old highway holds the key
It's got a lead foot down when it's leavin'
Lord knows it's taken a hell of a beatin'
A little bit of love is all that it's needin'
But it's good as it is tough
I got a heart like a truck

[Bridge]
Go on and see if you can knock off the dust, yeah
Shine it up, rev it up, and let it run, yeah
It gets a high ridin' off into the sun, yeah

[Chorus]
I got a heart like a truck
It's been drug through the mud
Runs on dreams and gasoline
And that old highway holds the key
It's got a lead foot down when it's leavin'
Lord knows it's taken a hell of a beatin'
A little bit of love is all that it's needin'
But it's good as it is tough
I got a heart like a truck
[Outro]
Go on and see if you can knock off the dust, yeah
Shine it up, rev it up, and let it run, yeah
It gets a high ridin' off into the sun, yeah
It gets a high ridin' off into the sun
