18 Wheels M. Landgarten 2002 c and p ASCAP

Got a wife in East Texas
times I feel I don?t know her at all
Got a job hauling steel on this rig boys
Straight down the line to Kansas Falls

Met a woman on a job at Twin Mills
Dispatching trucks , making rounds
Something in her eyes took me in boys
I turned back and wrote her number down

It?s 18 wheels a rolling
18 tons I?ve got
Headed down that highway
On the dirt roads to her house
To her house

It?s a sawbuck for every mile I drive
And she?s a little of my course, alright
Sometimes there?s hell to pay in Freeport Monday morning
But it?s worth it just to lay down by her side

So I call her from the pay phone at the toll house
With just three house left to go
She said "I really shouldn?t get there until the morning
Because there?s someone here and he ain?t about to go"

I said "I?m going to lay down next to you this evening
I?m going to feel your pretty hands on my skin
And I?m sorry if I don?t heed your warning
You tell him me and my truck are closing in"

And it?s 18 wheels?
