Hank Williams Sr. - Lowdown Truck Driver lyrics

Well I'm a lowdown truck driver Eighteen wheels and an easy rider Lord have mercy - Lord have mercy on my weary soul Well I'm a burnin' down this highway baby And I'm pullin' on a heavy load You know those high winds, those high grades I'm pullin' freight, and I'm gettin' paid Lord, them chicken coops ain't open and I'm in high gear, hammer down in the hammer lane I'm gonna blow right past those smokies I got friends on the inside pullin' strings I've been to Detroit, L.A., New York, Mississipp-i-a Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, East Texas and Viet Nam Lord have mercy - Lord have mercy on my weary soul Well I'm a burnin' down this highway baby and I'm pullin' on a heavy load I've taken little white pills I'm seein' white lines You know that log book, she's way behind Well this 18-wheeler's runnin' just like 18 tons of fallin' lead Well I can see the lights of home baby 'cause Austin's just 20 more miles ahead
