Truckdriver

Well, I'm a lowdown truck driver
 Eighteen wheels and an easy rider
 Lord have mercy
 Lord have mercy on a weary soul
 Well, I'm a burnin' down this highway
 And I'm pullin' on a heavy load
 You know them high winds, high grades
 I'm pullin' freight and I'm gettin' paid
 Lord, them chicken coops ain't open
 And I'm high gear, hammer down in the hammer lane
 I'm gonna blow right past those smokies
 I got friends on the inside pullin' strings
 I've been to Detroit, L.A., New York, Mississipp-i-a
 Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, East Texas and Vietnam
 Lord have mercy
 Lord have mercy on a weary soul
 Well, I'm a burnin' down this highway
 And I'm pullin' on a heavy load
 Get some!
 Yeah, this is the motor mouth comin' at ya
 Yeah, westbound, what's it lookin' like there out your backdoor?
 Come on!
 I'm takin' little white pills, I'm seein' white lines
 You know that log book, she is way behind
 Ah, this 18-wheeler's movin' just like 18 tons of fallin' lead
 Well, I'm gonna put that hammer down, babe
 'Cause Austin's just 20 more miles ahead
 I've been to Detroit, L.A., New York, Mississipp-i-a
 Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, East Texas and Vietnam
 Lord have mercy
 Lord have mercy on a weary soul
 Yeah, I'm a burnin' down this highway
 And I'm pullin' on a heavy load
 Get some!
 I've been to Detroit, L.A., New York, Mississipp-i-a
 Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, East Texas and Vietnam
 Lord have mercy
 Lord have mercy on a weary soul
 Yeah, I'm a gearin' her down, boys
 'Cause I can finally see, woo-hey, the lights of home
