LOOKIN' AT THE WORLD THROUGH A WINDSHIELD

WRITERS JERRY CHESNUT, MIKE HOYER

When I was just a little bitty kid I remembered one time Mama said

Daddy sends you all his love from Frisco Bay

I didn't understand till I was grown

why my Daddy didn't spend a little time at home

Instead of runnin' around the country that way

Now I'm looking at the world through a windshield

And see everything in a little bit different light

I got a sweet little thing I'm wantin' to see in Nashville

And I'm down around Dallas and a'rollin' on fast tonight

Long strips of rubber that you see

Were burned off of this rig by the likes of me

And they'll ride along the highways in this land

I'm gonna sign my name in this diesel smoke

And let the ones that come behind me choke

Now I'm looking at the world through a windshield

Watchin' it a flyin' by me at the right

I got a sweet little thing I'm wantin' to see in Nashville

And I'm down around Dallas and a'rollin' on fast tonight

I've pushed this rig through sleet and rain

And I've driven through the rough terrain

Of the Rockies to the docks of old L.A.

On down that old Pacific shore, sing north and headin' for Baltimore

Of somethin' ‘bout two thousand miles away

Now I'm looking at the world through a windshield

Watchin' it a flyin' by me at the right

I got a sweet little thing I'm wantin' to see in Nashville

And I'm down around Dallas and a'rollin' on fast tonight
