lyrics

Interstate 40 don’t hold much for me
From Little Rock to Nashville, Tennessee
But I’ve been pushing this rig from Charlotte to Seattle, Washington
Now I’m on my way to Nashville on a big red label run.

I’ve driven northern 80 ‘cross the plain
My windshield wipers slappin’ at the rain
I’ve crossed the great divide so many times I can’t keep score
I’ve drove a hundred sets of tires off a hundred trucks or more

And it’s been heartbreakin’, and I’ve been bellyachin’
About working this big rig rodeo, always moving down the line
Been driving a Freightliner, and there ain’t nothing finer
But it’s been 21 days from Macon and that Georgia gal of mine.

I started out of Tonopah the day before yesterday
And I ain’t seen much of interest on the way.
But I could feel them doubles dancin’ as I made the Denver climb
And I think I’d like to be in another place, in another time

And it’s been heartbreakin’, and I’ve been bellyachin’
About working this big rig rodeo, always moving down the line
Been driving a Freightliner, and there ain’t nothing finer
But it’s been 21 days from Macon and that Georgia gal of mine.
