Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin  
The moment you come into view,  
Chances are you think that I’m in love with you.  
Just because my composure sort of slips  
The moment that your lips meet mine,  
Chances are you think my heart’s your Valentine.

So I told a friendly star  
The way that dreamers often do  
Just how wonderful you are  
And why I’m so in love with you  
Now I shout it from the highest hills  
Even told the golden daffodils  
At last my heart’s an open door  
And my secret love’s no secret anymore

I like trucking, I like trucking,  
I like trucking and I like to truck.  
I like trucking, I like trucking,  
If you don’t like trucking, tough luck.  
On the road, you must be brave and tireless,  
On the road, you can listen to the wireless,  
On the road, you eat café food with pride,  
You can throw it up outside.

Left a good job in the city  
Workin’ for the man ev’ry night and day  
And I never lost one minute of sleepin’  
Worryin’ 'bout the way ihings might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin’  
Proud Mary keep on burnin’  
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river

Will the wind ever remember  
The names it has blown in the past?  
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom  
It whispers, “No, this will be the last”

And the wind cries, “Mary”

Away out here they got a name  
For rain and wind and fire  
The rain is Tess, the fire Joe,  
And they call the wind Maria

I was born in a city the called the ‘Windy City’  
And they call it the ‘Windy City’ because of the ‘Hawk’.  
All mighty Hawk  
Talking about Mr. Wind kind of mean around winter time

Who’s peekin’ out from under a stairway  
Calling a name that’s lighter than air  
Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow  
Everyone knows it’s Windy.

Pleasin’ to live, livin’ to please.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain  
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies  
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers  
That grow so incredibly high

Evil woman, how you done me wrong  
But now you’re tryin’ to wail a different song  
Ha, ha, funny how you broke me up  
You made the wine, now you drink the cup  
I came runnin’ every time you cried  
Thought I saw love smilin’ in your eyes  
Ha, ha, very nice to know  
That you ain’t got no place left to go
