Speedball Tucker |
I drive a broke-down rig on may-pop tires 40 foot of overload |
Lotta people say that I’m crazy because I don’t know how to take it slow |
I got a broomstick on the throttle, I gotta rope it up and head right down |
Non-stop back to Dallas poppin' them west coast turnarounds |
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker |
Terror of the highway and all them other truckers |
Will tell you that the boy is mad |
To be drivin' in a rig like that |
You know the rain may blow, snow may snow, and the turnpikes they may freeze |
But that don’t bother ol' Speedball, he goin' any damn way he please |
He got a broomstick on the throttle to keep his throttle foot a-dancin' 'round |
With a cupful of cold, black coffee, and a pocketful of west Coast turnarounds |
One day I looked into my rear-view mirror, and comin' up from behind |
Was a Georgia state policeman, and a hundred dollar fine |
Well, he looked me in the eye as he was writin' me up, he said, driver you been |
flyin' |
And 95 was the route you was on, it was not the speed limit sign |
