They travel cross our land at night
From coast to coast they are a site
They're large and tall and long and sleek
Can travel coast to coast within a week
They work for their owners that have a need
They have a special job to do
They fill the needs of me and you
They travel both near and far from home
But they spend most of their time alone
They must leave their families behind
But they are definitely one of a kind
We never really learn to appreciate their skills
Or realize they're determined to conquer those hills
They are like the ghosts of the night
But oh they are such a beautiful site
Their lights twinkle as they travel the roads
Moving to deliver all of their loads
They are the giants that travel to your town and mine
They are the trucks of the highway, and one of them is mine
