When a boy pulled in in a new Freightliner

A sight to behold,
he's a trucker's dream

Fanciest paint I ever did see
She had scoops and spoilers
so streamlined

She'd cut through the air
like a new buck knife

and began to brag

Said there's never been a truck
that was built this fast

Anybody wanna race me coast to coast

leave you in the dust

Got tuck and roll leather
and a custom shag,

Pair of faucet, poster pinned over my head,

30 years of runnin's,
ain't broke down yet

D
It was all he could do but to laugh

Said, you're never gonna make
it in a rig like that
G
Then he ex plained to me
the laws and mechanics

Of simple math and aerodynamics
Then he said, you got yourself a deal,
F
Then he shook my hand,
said, here's the plan
G
We'll line them up at the edge of town
D
When they drop that flag, just hammer down
I got a few supplies if a trucker needs
F
A box of crackers and a
can of sardines
G
Then the waitress said,
Need anything else?
D
Said a roll of them tums sure would help
Then I kissed the vendors,
just for luck

I turned the key,
she sputtered and coughed

so I dodged them scales

just trying to catch up,
breaking all the laws.

You know, I was running good,

but he was running better,
C
so now was the time for des
F
perate measures.
G
It was a moral dilemma I had to face
Dm
If I didn't cheat,
D
I was gonna lose this race
But I still had a trick left up my sleeve
F
There's a little red button
hidden under my seat
G
Said, break the glass
if you're running behind

So I fi nally got to use my nitrous oxide
Well, it pinned me back
about broke my neck

From deep in the engine
like a grizzly bear

horsepower to spare
