Hank Williams III - Lowdown Truck Driver lyrics

rate me

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

I've been to Detroit, L.A., New York, Mississipp-i-a

Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, East Texas and Vietnam

Lord have mercy -

Lord have mercy on my weary soul

Well I'm a gearin' on down boys

'Cause I can finally see the lights of home
