From the recording Big Rig Trucker's Dream
Lyrics
Big rig truckers dream.
Lyrics by Mike Riley
driving through georgia in an big steel box
A dashboard wooden ornament of Jesus on the cross
Is my only saving grace
I'm gonna get to santa fe
80 thousand pounds of freight to haul before I get paid
I need some product to strand
Or a women to hold
Guess either one will do if it lightens my load
V2
So I Took the first
Left hand turn
Found a road side bar
They were drinkin malt liqour
Out of Mason jars
I saw a blond haired beauty
Just eyebalin me
I said
howdy baby
Do you want some company
She said I know your
just passing through
And I ain't no road whore
Next thing you know my sorry ass was on the floor
Can't be so direct with a proper southern bell
I got some ice for my eye and some cocaine to smell
Chours:
I hit the road
I'm driving 90 miles hour on a never ending
I'm all alone
But the days are so long and the nights are so cold
I need a pretty little mamma like you ain't ever seen
Well ride side by side
A big rig truckers dream
V3
Pulled off of the highway
I-85
Came across a lot lizard
Lace painted on her thighs
Hell it felt like love at
that ole truck stop
When she begged
Lay me down
no ones around
I ain't a cop
When she climbed up in my cab
Down her push-up bra I saw
a po-lice badge
Fooled around for a minute until she
asked me for some doe
said im wise to her tricks
honey
pushed out the door
Can't be incarcerated for the 3rd straight time
So I put it in gear
Start heading down the line
Chours:
I hit the road
I'm driving 90 miles hour on a never ending
I'm all alone
But the days are so long and the nights are so cold
I need a pretty little mamma like you ain't ever seen
Well ride side by side
A big rig truckers dream
V.4
feeling pretty weary
Can hardly stay awake
So I pull over to dinner
To grab a bite to eat
(Slows down to a blues song)
Looked up and saw a waitress walkin towards me
apron on and white note pad
She asked me what are you having
I said a hard time catching my breath
Cause I never seen a girl so pretty
In all of my life
I got on my knees and begged
Will you marry me
baby wont you be my wife
She said get up hunny
I dont need no wedding ring
Just some of that
Rumbling engine
Red
2 seater cab
used nd the smell of gasoline
She said maybe hunny will you buy me a diamond ring
That's how I found my women
A
Big rig
Truckers
Dream
