Story Behind The Song

Middle America is being forgotten. This song showcases the hard-working trucker in cowboy country. I know these people and they are underappreciated.

Song Description

Just a couple days in the life of a trucker, who hauls cattle to the livestock auction in Crockett, Texas. He sacrifices many creature comforts to do this job and wants to be able to buy his baby a Lexus.

Lyrics

Crockett, Texas
(Intro)
I. Bustin' my balls to get down th' road. (Turnaround)
Haulin' cattle. Wanna drop this load. (Turnaround)
Bright lights, dim lights, hoppy toad.
Blowin' rain, wet manure gets old. (Turnaround) Oh, Crockett, Texas.
(Chorus)
Gotta get to Crockett, Texas.
Cattle shiftin', Jesus, don't wreck us.
Heavy on th' throttle to make some time.
Skip th' local eat-'em-up, cross th' line.
My comic book's filled with fictional stories.
Slept 2, drove 10. What, me worry?
Chuggin' Mt. Dew to Crockett, Texas. Chuggin' Mt. Dew to Crockett, Texas.
(Turnaround)
(Bridge)
Dollar fifty, dollar fifty, up another quarter.
One seventy-five, one seventy-five, keep it alive.
Two dollars, goin' once, goin' twice and sold!
Got a buyer in a Stetson, # 44.
(Turnaround) Oh, Crockett, Texas. Oh, Crockett, Texas. (Turnaround)
II. Headin' home, bobtailin' in th' rain. (Turnaround)
Slippin' and slidin', ain't a fun thing. (Turnaround)
Paycheck to paycheck, feel my pain.
Baby wanna Lexus. I'm just sayin'.
(Turnaround) Oh, Crockett, Texas.
(Chorus)
Gotta get to Crockett, Texas.
Cattle shiftin', Jesus, don't wreck us.
Heavy on th' throttle to make some time.
Skip th' local eat-'em-up, cross th' line.
My comic book's filled with fictional stories.
Slept 2, drove 10. What, me worry?
Chuggin' Mt. Dew to Crockett, Texas. Chuggin' Mt. Dew to Crockett, Texas.
(Turnaround)
(Tag)
Drivin' back from Crockett, Texas.
Gonna buy my baby a Lexus.
Haulin' bovine to Crockett, Texas.
Y'all come back now, ya hear!
Oh, Crockett, Texas.
Oh, Crockett, Texas.
Oh, Crockett, Texas.
Oh, Crockett, Texas.
