Trucker Speed

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got her letter in an old mail box I forgot I had at a little truck stop And I read it once and then I read it again I could hardly keep from cryin' I've been drivin' around the last week or so With an empty truck, I don't have a load And I don't care 'cause to tell you the truth I think I might be dying [Chorus] And it's trucker speed, benzedrine Percocets, amphetamines Black beauties and west coast turnarounds When the coast is clear I drive with my knees I mix it all up like a recipe Coca-Cola and coffee to wash it down Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground [Verse 2] At the side of the road he said, "You're a mess" When I told him she didn't leave an address Then he got another call, said, "Wait right here I'll be back in a little while" I put my head across my arms Slept on the wheel for an hour or more And I started it up and took off into the night [Chorus] And it's trucker speed, benzedrine Percocets, amphetamines Black beauties and west coast turnarounds When the coast is clear I drive with my knees I mix it all up like a recipe Coca-Cola and coffee to wash it down Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground [Verse 3] I've been high-centered, low throttle When I couldn't stop I peed in a bottle I've been so lonesome I made Hank Williams Look like a party of five I've been beat up, broke down Loaded on a truck and driven into town I always thought she'd be there at the end of the line I always thought she'd be there at the end of the line [Chorus] And it's trucker speed, benzedrine Percocets, amphetamines Black beauties and west coast turnarounds When the coast is clear I drive with my knees I mix it all up in a recipe Coca-Cola and coffee to wash it down Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground
