Verse 1
^AWell when I was just a little bitty kid ^DI remember one time Mommy said ^EDaddy sends you all his love, from 'Frisco ^ABay ^AWell I didn't understand till I was grown ^DWhy my Daddy didn't spend a little time at home ^EInstead of running round the country that ^Away

Chorus
^AOh I'm looking at the world through a ^Ewindshield Seeing everything in a little bit different ^Alight [Watching it fly by me on the right] I got a sweet little thing that I'm dying to see in ^D7Nashville ^EAnd I'm down around Dallas and rolling on south ^Atonight

Intro Riff

Verse 2

Well long strips of rubber that you see Were burnt off of this rig by the likes of me And they'll rot along the highways in this land I'm gonna write my name in this diesel smoke And let the ones that come along behind me choke And try to keep this pace I'm setting anytime that they can

Chorus

Verse 3

Well I push this rig through the sleet and rain And I've driven through the rough terrain Of the rockies to the docks of old L.A. On down that old pacific shore I swing north and head for Baltimore Or some place 'bout 2000 miles away

Chorus
^EAnd I'm down around Dallas and rolling on south ^Atonight
