Lyrics

TRUCKS (x15)

We ride the roads from shore to shore
Haulin' loads from farm to store
Pushin' through and drivin' deep
Two thousand miles, no sleep

You know the code we roll along
Kick into gear before the dawn
Well, life is just a stroke of luck
'Cause there ain't nothin' like bein' a truck

We got your back, you know we're ready for the long haul
Keep in tow, you know, we got ya', even if you're small
Come on and roll with us, you know it's us, we're leavin' now
Steer the course upon the sea, the open road is made for...

TRUCKS (x14)

TRUCKS, TRUCKS, TRUCKS
It's a truck thing
TRUCKS, TRUCKS, TRUCKS
Just a truck thing

Rumble and bumble, the gear and the grind
It's a truck thing

Rackin' up miles every road that we find
Just a truck thing

Turn it over, no more slippin', the transmission's started
Lay it hard upon the haunches in position, on it
Check the mirrors and the gauges fuel injector, punch it
Haulin' all together, honkin' everybody knows we're comin'
It's a truck thing

TRUCKS, TRUCKS
It's a truck thing

Shakin' and turnin' the rubber's a-burnin'
The belts'll be turnin', the engines are purrin', we're...

TRUCKS, TRUCKS, TRUCKS
Just a truck thing

Weighin' in high, rollin' out low
10-4, you ain't rollin' out on your own
It's a truck thing

TRUCKS, TRUCKS
It's a truck thing

With the red, the blue, and the yellow, the green
We're rollin' together, the prouder the team
Whatever, wherever, we'll get there together
And that's why we sing (x6)

Mater:
It's a truck thing!

Trivia

  • This is the only song in any Pixar production in which the characters burst into song, as opposed to previous productions where the characters put themselves in situations where they knowingly sing. However, it is debatable whether Wheezy singing at the end of Toy Story 2 counts.
