The Black Lillies - Smokestack Lady lyrics

rate me

Hey smokestack lady, why you gotta treat me so mean?

I’ve been running these roads up and down

And away to new orleans

I gotta keep them wheels rolling

Rolling on down the line, straight for you

I got them 18 wheels a long gone

Ain’t seen my baby in too long

I got the smokestack,hauling jack, switch back

Thinking bout run away,Freeway blues

Oh, come on, sweet daddy,

No one ever treated you that way

I got a brand new dress and a pair of shoes

And I’m waiting for the day

You got my rollin on up over that hill

With that smoke stack flaming and your big chrome grill

Smiling just for you

I got them 18 wheels a long gone

Ain’t seen my baby in too long

I got the smokestack,hauling jack , switch back

Thinking bout run away, Freeway blues

Well I met me a voodoo woman

She said look me in the eye

You got a good woman you truck drivin fool

Slow down or you’re gonna die

Pour one more cup of coffee, one more puff on the old smoke stack

I got them 18 wheels a long gone

Ain’t seen my baby in too long

I got the smokestack,hauling jack , switch back

Thinking bout run away, Freeway blues

Oh roll on home, Daddie

Lay that hammer down

The hounds are barking at my door

And I’m really needing your loving now

I got a truck on wheels waitin on you

Two loving arms whatever you wanna do, oh!

I got them 18 wheels a long gone

Ain’t seen my baby in too long

I got the smokestack,hauling jack , switch back

Thinking bout run away, freeway blues

I was born down in texas, raised up in Tennessee

I’ve been looking for a woman since the day I was born

And baby you’re the one for me

I gotta keep them wheels a rolling

Rolling on down the line, straight for you

I got them 18 wheels a long gone

Ain’t seen my baby in too long

I got the smokestack,hauling jack , switch back

Thinking bout run away, Freeway blues

Oh come on smokestack daddy,

Let that engine roll

It’s time to get you in high gear

And we’re really gonna have some fun

Tic tac, tic tac, tickity tac

Get on back, I got a brand new pair of shoes. oh lord

I got them 18 wheels a long gone

Ain’t seen my baby in too long

I got the smokestack,hauling jack , switch back

Thinking bout run away,Freeway blues

I got them 18 wheels a long gone

Ain’t seen my baby in too long

I got the smokestack, hauling jack ,switch back

Thinking bout run away, freeway blues.
