Some call it the ribbon |
|
Some say the white line |
|
I say truckstop living |
|
Well it suits me fine |
|
Every day of the week (x2) |
|
We heard some other fellers talking |
|
I think it's going to be a good fight |
|
Tonight the radio is rocking |
|
I'm going to hear my favorite song |
|
If it takes all night (x5) |
|
I'm going to wash my favorite shirt |
|
In downtown Marseilles |
|
It's got the same old dirt |
|
From up in Calais, oh oh |
|
How many days and weeks? (x2) |
|
Now every job it is important |
|
But still sometimes the money's right |
|
I saw the ghost of Johnny Horton |
|
He said we're going to make el paso |
|
If it takes all night (x8) |
|
I lost my favorite cook |
|
He left little Siam |
|
For many years I looked |
|
He said here I am, oh oh |
|
Every day of the week (x2) |
|
Some got to go and see their mama |
|
Some got to play a show tonight |
|
I got to go and see my baby |
|
When next I sleep I'll be with her |
|
If it takes all night (x16) |
