Freightliner Fever

歌詞

I drive a big freight liner, and I made my last payment today And I drive to all points outta New York City to LA Well, that little woman smiles when I believe her I'll soon be back; I got the fever She's a believer I got the freight liner fever Now, there's a railroad a-runnin' by a highway out in Santa Fe And I passed an old freight train makin' his run the other day Merle Haggard said to his fireman, so pale We're gonna blow the freight train off of the rails He got the fever He got the freight liner fever Well, pierce that box; what you carryin' in that cigarette pack? I said, "I got my second driver, and he's gonna drive her all the way back." It's a big black pill, so round and round The driver's call it west coast turnaround It's for the fever The ol' freight liner fever Well, I passed Red Sovine in the Wiggling, West Virginia And I passed Del Reeves in Shreveport, Louisiana Dick Curtis got hung up on a hill in Maine I pulled him over with my forty-foot chain He got the fever He got the freight liner fever I mean, I passed everything from a Jimmy to a Greyhound bus I'm gonna spend a few days on the coast at the end of my run Old giddy-up go and a little bit of luck Gonna pass Red Simpson and his runaway truck He got the fever He got the freight liner fever Well, pierce that box; what you carryin' in that cigarette pack? I said, "I got my second driver, and he's gonna drive her all the way back." It's a big black pill, so long and so round To a driver it's a west coast turnaround It's for the fever That ol' freight liner fever Yeah, I pass 'em all out here on these old roads All them ol' country boys There's Kenny Rogers and Charley Pride Mel Tillis, Moe Bandy Mickey Gilly, Boxcar Willie Porter Wagoner, Johnny Russell Eatin' up the freeway Bill Anderson Wow, there goes Dolly Got two buses Boy, I'd like to be her driver
