Lyrics

I got grass to be mowed Septic tank overflowed Rain gutter's full up with leaves Got a wife and a child And 400 more miles That's why truckers speed I ain't slept in a bed Since the day that I left With a load down from Los Angeles Gotta drop off my load 'Fore the warehouses close That's why truckers speed Now I'm truckin' all alone down this dark and lonely road This bank curve's got me on my knees So I keep the seat in drive 'cause I get there by the mile That's why truckers speed Say a storm is brewin' And the traffic's barely movin' And up the road all hit me I should see So when I find some open road I gotta make up time for home That's why truckers speed Now I'm truckin' all alone down this dark and lonely road This bank curve's got me on my knees So I keep the seat in drive 'cause I get there by the mile That's why truckers speed That's why truckers speed
