Truck Driver’s Life

Lyrics

Gassed up my rig in Briscoe and hit the open road A thousand miles from El Paso, pullin' an overload My baby, back in Barstow, she keeps the coffee hot My diesel's a-runnin' ready, my motor's always hot I roll along this ribbon, my eyes are getting red I know my baby's waiting three truck stops ahead Her eyes are blue as diesel smoke and hair fire-engine red If that won't make a big rig grow, I'll get a stick instead My sleeper cab is empty, I'll fill it up real soon For I just saw a headlight, turned out to be the moon I'll dodge the scales in Dallas, but everything's alright My baby, she'll be ready when I roll in tonight So, clear the road, I'm comin', just-a Giddy-Up and me This cab is all the home I've got this side of Tennessee They'll load me up in Memphis, but that won't make me cry Truck-drivin' life is all I know, I'll do it till I die
