[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]
E E A A
[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)
[Intro Riff]
E E A A
[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
