Lyrics
A Kojak with his Kodak
Is always trying to hold me back
A hundred miles and I?m no where
Five hundred more and I?ll be there
All their rules make the day go by slow
But on the road is the life for me
Driving to Tulsa or any far-off place
And I do it all to pay?
For three-dollar diesel ? my drivers are bald, the trailers are thin
Oh three-dollar diesel ? mama I can?t make the rent again
Ya three-dollar diesel ? my drivers are bald, the trailers are thin
Damn three-dollar diesel ? mama I can?t make the rent again
Lawmen they sit a talking
To find a way to make it harder
It seems they don?t like us truckers
But this is how we earn our dollar
All their rules make my day go by slow
But on the road is the life for me
Driving to Phoenix or any far-off place
And I do it all to pay?
For three-dollar diesel ? my drivers are bald, the trailers are thin
Oh three-dollar diesel ? mama I can?t make the rent again
Ya three-dollar diesel ? my drivers are bald, the trailers are thin
Damn three-dollar diesel ? mama I can?t make the rent again
Most people don?t like us, but they need us
To haul and deliver their precious things
Driving to Newark or any far-off place
And I do it all to pay?
For three-dollar diesel ? my drivers are bald, the trailers are thin
Oh three-dollar diesel ? mama I can?t make the rent again
Ya three-dollar diesel ? my drivers are bald, the trailers are thin
Damn three-dollar diesel ? mama I can?t make the rent again
