Highway Junkie |
A hundred cups of coffee, five hundred cigarettes |
A thousand miles of highway and I ain’t forgot her yet |
But I keep on movin', I keep movin on down the line |
Ain’t nothin in my rear view just a cloud of dust and smoke |
What do you expect when some old trucker’s heart gets broke |
Yeah old truckers' hearts get broke |
Those big wheels of rubber gonna rub her off-a my mind |
I’m a highway junkie I need that old white line |
Ten miles out Nashville doin bout 91 |
State boy pulled me over said where’s the fire son |
He said where’s the fire son |
I said there ain’t no fire I’m just runnin from a flame |
Go on and write your ticket but I ain’t the one to blame |
That county judge tried to rob me blind |
Those big wheels of rubber gonna rub her off-a my mind |
I’m a highway junkie I need that old white line |
So I rolled on into Memphis, I got nothin left to lose |
Wanted to hear some rock ‘n roll but all they played was blues |
Didn’t want to hear no blues |
So I tried to call up Elvis but Roger Miller grabbed the phone |
He said «Drive them eighteen wheelers, boy, you’re the king of the road» |
You’re the king of the road |
Those big wheels of rubber gonna rub her off-a my mind |
I’m a highway junkie I need that old white line |
