Tombstone Every Mile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] All you big and burly men who roll the trucks along Better listen, you'll be thankful when you hear my song You have really got it made if you're haulin' goods Anyplace on earth but those Hainesville Woods [Chorus] It's a stretch of road up north in Maine That's never, ever, ever seen a smile If they'd buried all the truckers that's lost in them woods There'd be a tombstone every mile [Verse 2] When you're loaded with potatoes and you're headed down You've got to drive the woods to get to Boston town When it's winter up in Maine you'd better check it over twice Cause that Hainesville road is just a ribbon of ice [Chorus] It's a stretch of road up north in Maine That's never, ever, ever seen a smile Well, if they'd buried all the truckers lost in those woods There'd be a tombstone every mile [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] When you're talkin' to a trucker that's been haulin' goods Down that stretch of road in Maine they call the Hainesville Woods He'll tell you that dyin' and goin' down below Won't be half as bad as drivin' on that ice and snow [Chorus] It's a stretch of road up north in Maine That's never, ever, ever seen a smile If they'd buried all the truckers that's lost in them woods There'd be a tombstone every mile [Outro] There'd be a tombstone every mile
