Sitting here wishing and thinking and praying Wondering what them folks are saying About me and what I’m doing here Yeah they’re looking like I’m gonna steal their stuff Brother I tell you I got enough Just a bag of clothes a tent and a case of beer
This one old boy looks like a roadie from Skynrd Sucking down his chicken dinner He’s got a rebel flag right there on his grill And there’s another one I swear looks just like Hank Stopped in here to gas his tank Buy a pack of smokes and pop a couple pills
Chorus
Who needs TV when you got a truck stop Who needs movies when you’ve got the road Who needs MasterCard hell you got a visa And who needs to fix it if it ain’t broke
Yeah northbound Cadillac neon lights Driven by a man you couldn’t pay me to fight I swear I’ve never seen a zombie until now Lord he looks like he’s been up for days Swerving through the asphalt haze And right now id be nervous if I was a cow
And this one old woman with a wagon full o kids She looked like she just hit the skids She left his ass this time she ain’t going back Yeah she gonna drop the children off at mama’s She already got them in their pajamas And a sugar daddy waiting in a Cadillac
Chorus
This one old boy stopped to use the phone To tell his woman he’d soon be home If the highway patrol would let him put the hammer down And he asked if his hunting dogs were alright And he just might make it home tonight The CB says it’s clear for four more towns
Well I been sitting here four or five hours I blew a rod doing sixty miles an hour Seems like Detroit ain’t making them like they did I’m glad there’s all this stuff to see If it weren’t for them it’d just be me And I do believe I would’ve flipped my lid
