Weird Al Yankovic - Truck Drivin' Song

Because I'm drivin' a truck
Drivin' a big ol' truck
Smokey's on my tail and my accelerator's stuck
Got these eighteen wheels-a-rollin' until the break of dawn
Drivin' a truck with my high heels on

Leave it to my friend, Rebecca, to find this one! Love your sense of humor, Becca!

What can I say about Weird Al? This song is hilarious! Just a fun song with no serious trans related lyrics.

Per Wikia Entertainment:

The song debuted in 1999 on the Running With Scissors album and is a style parody of C. W. McCall.


Per Wikia Entertainment:

Similar to Monty Python's "The Lumberjack Song," which is about a lumberjack who cross-dresses (in this song the narrator is a truck driver who talks about his cross-dressing tendencies).

Here's some commentary on Weird Al, along with a review of the song, from Sputnikmusic.com:

"Weird Al" Yankovic has long been a pop culture staple, having been welcomed into the very entity he seeks to parody since the early 80s. After scoring big once again with "Bad Hair Day" in 1996, Al's next studio effort was 1999's "Running With Scissors." While not as commercially successful as the previous album, this collection of pop parodies and original comedy tunes is still as entertaining as anything Al's done in the span of his career. Backed by a band of excellent studio musicians (who have been with him since his very first LP), there's no song, style, or melody that these guys can't re-create and then exploit for full comedic potential.

Truck Drivin' Song (2:27): This is a nice little disturbing number by an unusually-baritone voiced Weird Al. The driving country beat is a great companion to the transvestite-trucker lyrics, and the more macho the song makes itself, the more bizarre the singing gets. A perfect blend of hard-hitting western tunes (including a nice country guitar solo by Jim West) and typical Weird Al hilarity, this song is a solid 4.5/5

I have been unable to find an original video for this song. Alas, there are a bunch of amateurs who have had fun with this one. A couple of them are below.





The Lyrics:

I'm drivin' a truck
Drivin' a big ol' truck
Pedal to the metal, hope I don't run out of luck
Rollin' down the highway until the break of dawn
Drivin' a truck with my high heels on

My diesel rig is northward bound
It's time to put that hammer down
Just watchin' as the miles go flyin' by
I'm ridin' twenty tons of steel
But it's sure hard to hold the wheel
While I'm waiting for my nails to dry

Oh, I always gotta check my lipstick in that rear view mirror
And my pink angora sweater fits so tight
I'm jammin' gears and haulin' freight
Well, I sure hope my seams are straight
Lord, don't let my mascara run tonight

Because I'm drivin' a truck
Drivin' a big ol' truck
Smokey's on my tail and my accelerator's stuck
Got these eighteen wheels-a-rollin' until the break of dawn
Drivin' a truck with my high heels on

Oh, I don't mind when my crotchless panties creep right up on me
And my nipple rings don't bother me too much
But when I hit those big speed bumps
My darling little rhinestone pumps
Keep slippin' off the mother-lovin' clutch

But still I'm drivin' a truck
Drivin' a big ol' truck
Headin' down the interstate, just tryin' to make a buck
Wearin' feather boas with sequins and chiffon
While I'm drivin' a truck with my high heels on

I'm drivin' a truck
Drivin' a truck
Got a load to carry and some eyebrows left to pluck
And I'm late for my appointment down at my hair salon
So I'll be drivin' a truck with my high heels on
