Truck Driver's Lament 歌词

When I was just knee high to a puddle duck Santa Claus brought me a little toy truck And I drove ten thousand miles in our front yard Well I said right then when I get grown I'd have me a real truck all my own And made it too but boy I'll tell you it's hard Tween dodging scales to make up time Gettin' caught ten times outta nine This eighteen wheeler's makin' a wreck out of me I got tickets from all the best towns around And when I made the terminal today I found Some smart joker's done got my seniority [ steel - guitar ] My little lady and unions they're just alike About changing their minds and going on strike And the worry I do about them two ain't no fun Well I was headed home from Portland Maine When the Uniuon started having labor pains Danged if she didn't too and now I've gotta son But I'll bet one thing that kid of mine Won't ever get at Christmas time It's a little toy truck like Santa Claus brought to me And if he ever mentions having one around I'll tan his little hide till he can't sit down No more gear jammers in this here family
