Highway In The Sky 歌词

When I pulled big Mack into the yard today They told me ole Joe was dead But you know he was once a hell of a driver And I remember what ole Joe said I'm not a truck drivin' man anymore They claim I'm too old and now I sweep and mop the floors They say that younger drivers aren't prone to have a wreck But I pushed a rig for thirty years and never had a scrape But it won't be long for me to wait I'll drive my truck through heaven's golden gates With those angels ridin' with me we'll make that engine sigh Blowin' diesel smoke on a highway in the sky I've made the haul from Boston to Frisco on the bay Fought detours and I've been polite each mile of the way Been a midwife to a stranger brought new life to this land But now they say ole Joe's too old to be a drivin' man But it won't be long for me to wait... Then one day he said Johnny you know sometimes at night I sit and watch those big Mack rolling by Boy it's hard not to turn my head because it makes me wanna cry I know that I'm not gonna drive again but wishin' is not a sin Cause I know that soon I'll be up there with my ole truck drivin friends Well it won't be long for me to wait... I'll be blowin' diesel smoke on the highway in the sky
