Lyrics
VERSE1
WHEN YER TRAVELIN DOWN THE HIGHWAY SOMEWHERE 'TWEEN COAST TO COAST
YOU GOT SOMETHING IN YER EYE WHEN IM PASSSIN YOU BY
WITH MY TRAIL OF DIESEL SMOKE
THE RUMBLE AND THUNDER OF 40 FEET OF RIG
DOES A FAID OFF OUTA YOUR SIGHT
ITS A DAMN SURE THING IN THE CAB IM KING
AND IM A HAVIN ME A HELL OF A TIME
CHORUS
GOT 18 WHEELS DOIN THE WALKIN
A BIG V-8 DOIN THE TALKIN
I GOT THE OLD GREY FOX ON THE SATELLITE SQUAKIN'
KEEPIN ME COMPANY
18 WHEELS DOIN THE WALKIN
A BIG V-8 DOIN THE TALKIN
THE HAMMER GOES DOWN AINT A JAMMER LEAVIN TOWN
GOTS THE GOOD LOVE LIKE ME
VERSE2
WELL A SHINEY SUIT IS A SIGHT TO SEE
BUT YOU WONT SEE ONE ON ME
I AINT GONNA HAING AROUND FROM 9 TO 5
WHERE I CANT LOVE LOUISE
GOT A CUP OF MUD, A TURNAROUND PAPAS RUNNIN NIGHT AND DAY
I GOT THE WHOLE DAMN SHOW SITTIN UP IN THE THRONE
OF THIS 10 TON ROLLIN SLEIGH
RPT. CHORUS
VERSE3
WHEN I SHUT HER DOWN AND I AINT AROUND
NO TEARDROPS WILL BE CRIED
WHEN THE END OF THAT CONCRETE COWBOY THING
COMES AROUND AT THE END OF THE LINE
AND WHEN MY RIG IS RUST AND IM ALL DUST
ON A STONE THERES GONNA BE A RHYME
ILL TELL YOU WHAT IT READS CAUSE THERES ONLY ONE THING
EVER KEEP ME SATISFIED
CHORUS TO END
