The Truckin' Song

Well I head out on the highway and I let the motor run
On the way to see my baby yeah I'm finally headed home
Heaven knows I love to sing
But I've been out here on the road too long
I got the road sign tellin' me what I already know
It said before you see your baby got a long long way to go

And it's seven hunded miles to paradise from here
I gotta get 'em all behind me gotta get this old truck in gear
I can't wait until I'm kissin'
On the woman I've been missin' all year
It's five hundred miles to paradise from here

Well the cruise control's on ninety but that's feelin' way too slow
As I go flippin' through the stations on the FM radio
And every song they're singin'
Is remindin' me of her sweet face
I pass a dead armadillo lyin' over to the right
And I'll be feelin' just like him if I don't get there by tonight

And it's five hunded miles to paradise from here
I gotta get 'em all behind me gotta get this old truck in gear
I can't wait until I'm kissin'
On the woman I've been missin' all year
It's five hundred miles to paradise from here

Well there's seven empty Coca-Cola bottles on the floor
And if I can't stay awake I'll have to stop and get some more
My back has started achin'
And I'm wonderin' why it's takin' so long
My eyes are gettin' sleepy and it's hard to concentrate
But then again I know if I survive she'll make it worth the wait

And it's just thirty more miles to paradise from here
I gotta get 'em all behind me gotta get this old truck in gear
I can't wait until I'm kissin'
On the woman I've been missin' all year
It's thirty more miles to paradise from here

Well I'm pullin' 'round the corner and it's finally in sight
She's lookin' out the window and she's turnin' on the light
Honey I'm home
