C Read an ad in G7 Chicago's Sunday C paper
Help wanted semi G7 driver needed C bad
I F walked in I said I'd like to see the C foreman
I D7 told him all the experience that I G7 had
He said C son you're G7 just the man I C needed
Handed me the G7 keys and shook my C hand
He F pointed to the truck and said I'll C see you
G7 Take that load of steel to Birmin'-{C} ham.
CHORUS
Well I F finally got inside and got it started
Put it into gear and started C backin' F up
Tried every way to get it goin' forward
Oh, but D7 I ain't never drove a big old G7 truck
Well it C wasn't easy G7 backin' through the C traffic
And I'll bet I'm the G7 first truck drivin' C man
That F ever left Chicago in a C semi
And G7 backed it all the way to Birgin'-{C} ham.
Well, the police pulled me over down in Nashville
What do you think you're doin', I just smiled
I said I just got tired of goin' forward
And I thought I'd drive it backwards for a while
I backed it in a truck stop and said fill it
And check the oil, it probably needs a can
Oh, he said tell me which way are you backin'
I said I'm backin' south to Birmin'ham.
CHORUS
