Radiator Man From Wasco
Merle Haggard
[Intro] [Verse 1] I’ve heard so many songs about truck drivers And I don’t raise any cause they put ’em high And I don’t say it’s wrong But I’ve never heard a song ’Bout a Radiator Man in my life [Chorus] Yeah I’m a Radiator Man from Wasco And you ought to see the albums that I bought Well I’ve never wrote a song before And I guess I never will no more But I just had to put on paper what I thought [Verse 2] Well I put so many hoses on them old boilin’ trucks And I’ve flushed so many radiators in my time Yeah and I’ve helped to keep ’em rollin’ And it just ain’t too consolin’ That they glorified that profession And overlooked mine [Verse 3] Why they’re not the only ones that got women waitin A Radiator Man’s gotta woman too Well I’ve worked late at the shop When them truckers had to stop And I’ve stayed there till the dadgum job was through [Chorus] I’m just a Radiator Man from Wasco But I’m proud of my trade yes I am And it’s not a fair thing That the singers never sing A song ’bout a Radiator Man [Verse 4] I guess that what I do is not too flashy And I suppose the world will never know About this feelin’ of pride That I feel deep inside Just bein’ a Radiator Man from Wasco Just bein’ a Radiator Man from Wasco
