Lyrics
Rollin' out of Texas like a bat outta hell
He is a demon with a CDL
Speed is the game, miles are the prize
With one arm tan and bloodshot eyes
Check your mirror, check it again
A big rig is rollin' up around the bend
Make a little room brother, don't be late
He's got the deed to this interstate
He'll leave you crawlin' like a newborn fool
You'd better make way for The Kingwood Mule
A rock and roll legend, catch him if you can
He's a bad mother**** truck drivin' man
Got a great big hat and a belly laugh
Tony Lama boots, size twelve and a half
Eats what he wants, drinks coffee by the quart
The State Police have never hauled him into court
He'll leave you crawlin' like a newborn fool
You'd better make way for The Kingwood Mule
A rock and roll legend, catch him if you can
He's a bad mother**** truck drivin' man
While you were sleeping in your motel bed
Ghosts were flying up and down the road ahead
Pedal to the floor
High gear, hammer down
There's a low and rolling thunder
On the outskirts of town
He's no apparition, He's a man on a mission
With 20 tons of produce out of San Antone
Get out the way brother, you better move
Here he comes, The Kingwood Mule
He'll leave you crawlin' like a newborn fool
You'd better make way for The Kingwood Mule
A rock and roll legend, catch him if you can
He's a bad mother**** truck drivin' man
Pedal to the floor
High gear, hammer down
There's a low and rolling thunder
On the outskirts of town
While you were sleeping in your motel bed
Ghosts were flying up and down the road ahead
The Kingwood Muley, Hey
The Kingwood Muley, Oh
the Kingwood Muley, Hey oh
