|
Walkin' down the shoulder of |
|
Interstate 40 just a cussin' every rock that |
|
I kick Since |
|
I lost everything in the last depression |
|
I just give up and |
|
I quit But |
|
I'm happy though |
|
I ain't had nothing since morning but a cold drink and a pie |
|
And it rained up the road bout an hour ago but |
|
I've walked these brogans dry |
|
But that's just my life out on |
|
Interstate 40 but |
|
I'm a happy son of a gun |
|
The governments givin' me |
|
Interstate 40 and the good |
|
Lord's give me a thumb |
|
Now you gotta be carefull out on |
|
Interstate 40 cause the highway men ain't dumb |
|
There's a law against hikin' out on |
|
Interstate 40 so you gotta know who to thumb |
|
But if you're like me you wouldn't mind at all cause what the law calls punishment |
|
Is ninety wonderful days of patchin' up old |
|
Interstate 40 cement |
|
Yeah that's just my life... |
|
Now the world's my castle and the grass my carpet and my heart is all my own |
|
The rains my bath and |
|
Interstate 40 is my home sweet home sweet home |
|
Now when I die just plant me close to where the big trucks whine and moan |
|
Just anywhere along ole |
|
Interstate 40 will rest my weary bones |
|
Ha ha ha that's just my life... |
|
And the good |
|
Lord's give me a thumb |
