lyrics

She pulled the wheel right outta my hand
And it forced me to understand
Just how lost I really am, being a hard-living truck driving man
Now when I’m dreaming, gassing up my truck
She’s up in the sky while I remain stuck on the ground

Two little pills keep me up till ten
Two cigarettes and I do it again
Along the miles of open lines
That I cross when I’m making up time
But when I’m choking on this diesel smoke,
She’s down on the line while I remain stuck in this town

Ooh, but when I look in her eyes
I’m not hard inside, from this two-week drive
My mind gets light like a butterfly

Ooh, but when she looks in my eyes
I don’t fantasize, intellectualize,
All my messed up thoughts get organized

Rolling down a flat Midwestern road
I pull up a ramp to balance my load
Surrounded by the drifting snow that fell hard for three days in a row
But when I’m dreaming, sleeping in my truck
She’s out in the sun while I remain under a cloud

Pour me a coffee, it’s the best in the land
And play me that jukebox song about a truck driving man
