Lyrics
Drove A Truck
Lyrics and Music by Andrew M. Salgado BMI © 3-31-2023
He was kind as he could be
A father to 3
A loving husband till the day that he died
He loved John Wayne
And taught us how to play
He was tough as nails but not ashamed to cry
He wasn’t afraid to stand up for what was right
If he was here today - you’d see his pride
Chorus:
But there isn’t a magazine
Or a gold medal
With his name on it
But he was still was a hero
Don’t call him an average man
Who missed his chance
cause he was so much more than that
But you can’t look past
Cause to you he’s just another guy
Who drove a truck
He always told the truth
No matter who
Didn’t wanna hear it, he was made like that
He wasn’t afraid - to stand up for what is right
If he was hear today - you’d see his pride
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Wish he was here – to see what I’ve become
I’d probably shed a tear - while I’m in his hug
Chorus 3:
Cause I’m in a magazine
Got my name in lights
I travel the world like him
But I’m on the passenger side
So much more than an average man
Who missed his chance
Who taught me everything I know
And I’ll never forget that
Just guy, and average guy
Who drove a truck
