This song is all in A (1 chord)
A
21 days on the road not a wink of sleep
A
Gotta belly full of pills and a bottle of heat
A
Sleep makes you old but on the road
A
Truckin is a young man's dream
Pin head pencil pushing loud mouth geek
Cut me off a mile marker 33
I made him pay for the move he made
With his Pinto and a fiery grave
Eighteen wheels and a crowbar will cut you down to size
Eighteen wheels and a crowbar, can't run away this time
Eighteen wheels and a crowbar, I'm gonna put the hammer down
Eighteen wheels and a crowbar, fate was on my dashboard looking right at me now
Big rig rollin thru a foggy night
the pile in my stomach don't taste quite right
3 minutes a Mercedes Benz
Got wrapped around a telephone pole
Don't know my 20 and my eyelids are shut
I've fallen down and I cant get up
Drivin blind but just in time
To lay to rest your weary soul
Chorus
I've been hauled, mauled, run to the side
I've got the pedal to the metal and I ain't satisfied
I tarped my load but the open road
Flipped a wrench with that dispatch scum
as I raise the tarp to above my head
come crashing through the desert in a flash of red
I've painted my foot, theres knots in my gut
Its time to pay the human toll
Chorus
