I live my life for the trucks that shinePeople say it’s just a waste of time

Then they said I should feed my headThat to me was just a day in bed

I'll take my car Scania and drive real farThey’re not concerned about the way we are

In my mind my dreams are realNow you’re concerned about the way I feel
