[intro]
A
[verse]
Well I Aain't your average trucker     they go their way I go my way
I'm the kind of guy  who picks up any fruit out on the Ehighway
I see an apple in a tree  or little Aberries  growin'  free
And I say Dyes-sir-Aree  there's a Eperfect snack for Ame
Just chew  'em Dup  get in the cab  take off and Atoot
One eye out for highway danger   the Eother out for Afruit
[verse]
Now Aother truckers stop at diners  wolfin' down their pork and beans
Not me I stop at road side stands  and score some tangeErines
I eat every kind of fruit   except the Aprune
Cause it's a Dheavy load I'm Acarryin'  and I Ewon't be stoppin'  Asoon
Just chew  'em Dup  get in the cab  take off and Atoot
One eye out for highway danger   the Eother out for Afruit
[bridge]
I got F#mone hand on the throttle  and Fthe other my banana
And I'm Apeelin'  down the highway  I'm headin'  home to see my Anna
She's the F#mapple of my eye  and I Fknow she's waitin'  there
With her Alips like little cherries  she's a peach and what a Epair
[verse]
But if my Acab is full of garbage  and there's  fruit stains on my shirt
Sure beats the pants off  takin' them little white pills to stay Ealert
And if you Edrink and drive you lose  Aso I'll stick with figs and cherries
Hard Ddrivin'  boys and Abooze  ain't near as Egood as boys n' Aberries
Just chew  'em Dup  get in the cab  take off and Atoot
One eye out for highway danger  the Eother out for Afruit
[outro]
One eye out for highway danger  the Eother out for DfruuuuuuuuitA
