Widow Maker |
Widow Maker, Widow Maker |
Were the words so bright and big |
Painted 'cross the bumper |
Of a shiny rig |
Billy Mack kissed Wanda Anne |
And climbed into his rig |
Said he’d be back a-Tuesday night |
Lets plan on somethin' big |
That big red diesel roared to life |
And Bill was L.A. bound |
The wheels were hummin' Wanda Anne |
As he rolled outta town |
20 hundred RPMs were showing on the tach |
But no one knew |
this was the last long ride for Billy Mack |
Widow Maker, Widow Maker |
Only Bill could understand |
Was goin' to make a widow |
Outta pretty Wanda Anne |
Just a few more miles |
And Bill was on that mountain range |
Where dead ahead |
A pickup full of kids blocked both the lanes |
Bill hit the air |
Then he felt |
His trailer slide and sway |
And the pickup driver made no move |
To help him clear the way |
He just had time to think of Wanda |
As he fought the wheel |
Then Billy Mack was buried under |
20 tons of steel |
One life for ten |
Has always been |
A diesel drivers code |
That’s why Billy slung that Widow Maker off the road |
