There Ain’t No Easy Runs

Lyrics

I was sittin' in the terminal, waitin' for my load When a greenhorn driver came in off the road Heard him tell that foreman, Get my little pink slip This run is too tough and I'm gonna quit Now the foreman that day happened to be ol' Joe And, man, he was older than time He said, Son, how long you been drivin' this rig? I drove all the shapes, forms, fashions, and kinds Here you are worried about this one little trip Why, I drive a million miles and then some He looked that greenhorn right straight in the eye, and he said Boy, there ain't no еasy run I drove for Roadway, Interstate, Boutwеll, Great Lakes Overnight, Time, Mayflower, and Freightlines Spector, Yellow Transit, Western, Gillette Red Ball, Ryder, North Western, Big CF Beaver, Bell, Hoover, and McLane's Gateway, Motor Freight, Transport, and Viking's Dixie, Ohio, Trans-America, and some Eastex, Mason Dixon, Watkins, and Transcon Wilson Associates, got all that drivin' done And I'll tell you boy, there ain't no easy run If you got a gal in Texas, they'll send you up to Maine And if you got a gal in New York, they'll send you out in the Plains I know what your problem is, you got woman problems, son But like I said, there ain't no easy run I drove for Navajo, Brady, Bruce, DC North American, Allied, Chicago Motor Freight and Pie Beemac, Curtis, Eastern, and MX Garrett, Ace, Federal, and BM GMF [?] Neptune, Harrod, Briggs, and Sealand Dudley, Dorsey, Bynes[?], and Cunningham Cooper, McRory, Jones, and American too Acme, Central, Standard, Voss, and Sioux United, Buckingham, got all that drivin' done And I'll tell you boy, there ain't no easy run Oh, I've been backwards, forwards, uphill, downhill Chills and spills and drills and pills How about Atlas? Blow it one time for Kramer Alabama, yes, Long and Harris, General How about Strickland? Blow it one time again for me …
