California Strawberry Man

I'm leavin' California bright and early in the mornin'
I'm a loaded with my orders in my hand
Racin' that ol' clock three thousand miles to New York City
I'm the California Strawberry Man

Doin' Hunt's Point Terminal first thing Monday mornin'
And I'll pull her right in on time if I can
Cause I know the people back in New York are dependin'
On the California Strawberry Man

I just keep her rollin'
Bravin' every kind of weather
Everything from ice and snow to desert sand
I never missed a trip and I never lost a berry
I'm the California Strawberry Man

I dread that ol' long stretch of road from Denver to Topeka
In the winter time it sure gets mighty cold
The summers are so hot that Kansas sun could fry a rabbit
In the shade of a telephone pole

I'm gone away from home so much my dog don't even know me
Always growls and tries to bite me on the hand
My kids don't call me daddy
They just holler hey momma
Here's that California Strawberry Man

I just keep her rollin'
Bravin' every kind of weather
Everything from ice and snow to desert sand
I never missed a trip and I never lost a berry
I'm the California Strawberry Man

I just keep her rollin'
Bravin every kind a weather
Everything from ice and snow to desert sand
I never missed a trip and I never lost a berry
I'm the California Strawberry Man
I'm the California Strawberry Man
Yeah, I'm the California Strawberry Man
I'm the California Strawberry Man
