"Haggard's on the radio
Singin' 'bout them big wheels movin' on
And behind me there's a heavy load
That's gotta be in Denver before dawn
Sometimes I wonder as I look back
And see that big ol' trailer in the mirror
Was this kind of life worth losing all I left
Behind me through the years
But I'll keep jamming them gears
For as long as I'm here
Another million miles, it ain't no big deal
And I'll give up driving this truck
When they pry my stone cold fingers from the wheel
Staring out the windshield
I think about the times away from home
Do the children know how sad I feel
In knowing what I've missed
And now they're grown?
But I can't quit, it's in my blood
Guess it'll take dyin' and when I do
I'll leave it to my youngest son
He seems to want to fill his old man's shoes
But I'll keep jamming them gears
For as long as I'm here
Another million miles, it ain't no big deal
And I'll give up driving this truck
When they pry my stone cold fingers from the wheel."
And I'll give up driving this truck
When they pry my stone cold fingers from the wheel."
