Truck Driver Blues
Category: Travel and Places
I know where we were.I know where we are going. I don't know where we am. We are running these roads,delivering loads.Eating on canned beans and ham. We're both going crazy.but not @ all lazy. We're in a real tizzy,it's true.We're sleep deprived tired ,or wide awake wired.Mostly dont know what to do. WE're somewhat depraved.but quite well behaved.No one is scarred of us yet. The hours we keep don't give us much sleep.You would'nt trade us jobs ,both bet..We need a shower,but don't have power..To tell dispatcher .. "NO"..we get a bit grumpy,cause these roads are bumpy.But down them we really must go. We'd call home in a jiffy, but phone service is iffy.Sometimes it's scarce @it's best.We know you know that we'd love to just chat.But calling is such a big test. So we go on driving,but not reallythriving. Sweaty hands holding the wheel. All 18 tires move us thru ten gears with no fuss. This job is not any big deal.We both share the sleeper, It's probably cheaper than seedy motels on the way. We each call it home ,whenever we roam Cause home's not where we are today . Don't wrinkle your nose.We know it ain't roses This job that we do everyday We bring you freight,We dont make u wait , cause that's how we both earn our Pay . Someday we'll be wealthy, and maybe more healthy. Then maybe we won't have to drive But for now we haul,that's preety much all. WE'RE BUSY JUST STAYING ALIVE..
