lyrics

I am a lonely trucker driving down a lonesome road
The radio speaks to me; at times I speak to the radio

I love a woman, but she no longer loves me
Now I've got a cigarette to kiss; her picture lies broken on the passenger seat.

I got to the grain mill and the lineup ran for a mile
That old farmer wants his feed - I think he's gonna have to wait a while

Ol' Joe was up ahead, and I asked him 'have you got any grass?'
'One trucker to another, I think you know just why I ask'

Time I got out of there - It was getting to be quite late
I could sleep, but I would rather get more pay

I slept three hours last night and one the night before that
It don't bother me much - I've driven on less sleep in the past

I must have dozed off, cause I woke up in a ditch
I thought about my woman - the thought it left a certain itch

I was bleedin' from ten different places, but I still managed to get high
Didn't want the thought of my woman to be my last before I die

I don't think that I will go to heaven but I sure don't wanna go down to hell
But I suppose that wherever I may go, I will be lonesome there as well.
