Sweet Melinda lyrics

Pulled out of Linden, Texas Two days and nights ago Ive been livin on pills and burgies Till the whites of my eyes dont show Southbound headlights are makin me blind Im too damn tired to blink My toes are numb and my brains gone numb And I can just barely think Sweet Melinda, my wife The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler Cuts through me like a knife Cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife I been ridin on empty Most all of my life Two more hours of daylight Its startin to rain again A sign up ahead says Welcome to Paradise Population Ten Well me and this truck and that old white line Stumblin on and on Like three old drinkin buddies Comin home at dawn
