Biography:
Daffan played steel guitar with bands in the Houston area before starting his own band, Ted Daffan and His Texans. As a band leader, he pioneered the use of the steel guitar as a lead instrument and in solos, a departure from the traditional fiddle sounds used by most country bands. Daffan's clean, distinctive sound -- which combined blues and swing -- and his songs influenced artists for years to come.
Like "Born to Lose," a number of Daffan songs were recorded by other artists.

Words and Music by Ted Daffan
[A] Feelin' kinda weary, from my head down to my [A7] shoes
[D] Feelin' kinda weary, from my head down [D7] to my [A] shoes
I got a [E] low down feelin'
Truck [E7] Driver's [A] Blues.
Keep them wheels a-rollin', I ain't got no time to lose
Keep them wheels a-rollin', I ain't got no time to lose
Just a low down feelin'
Truck Driver's Blues.
[A] Ride, ride, ride, ride on into [A7] town
[D] Ride, ride, ride, ride on [D7] town [A]
My [E] honky tonk gal is waitin'
I got [E7] troubles to [A] drown.
I never did have nothin', I got nothin' much to lose
I never did have nothin', I got nothin' much to lose
But the low down feelin'
Truck Driver's Blues.
