[Intro]
G7
C
[Chorus]
N.C.
'cause it's the
G7
Only shoulder
G7
And it's the lonely shoulder
G7
But it's the only shoulder
C
A trucker can cry on
[Verse 1]
G7 C
When I roll this truck a thousand miles from home
G7 C
It seems the distance puts me in this world alone
C7 F
And when my heart gets as heavy as my load
D7 G7
I pull over on the shoulder of the road
[Chorus]
N.C.
'cause it's the
G7
Only shoulder
G7
And it's the lonely shoulder
G7
But it's the only shoulder
C
A trucker can cry on
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G7 C
You'd never think that a big truck driver cries
G7 C
Why, he's as tough as steel, got a heart that's cold as ice
C7 F
It just ain't true, but just another trucker knows
D7 G7
Why I'm pulled over on the shoulder of the road
[Chorus]
N.C.
'cause it's the
G7
Only shoulder
G7
And it's the lonely shoulder
G7
But it's the only shoulder
C
A trucker can cry on
