Johnny Cash - The Mystery Of Life lyrics

Peterbilt drivers don't pick up low riders They don't slow for the curves in the road They hate to keep logs, they hate riders on hogs Watch out for a shift in your load When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns But I never had a Lionel train Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up And it weighs thirty tons in the rain I wear Frisco jeans with riveted seams My money is chained to my belt I wear a Cat cap just like my pap He drove till it ruined his health Now, Georgia Bill Smith wore thick gla**es and boots He could see 'bout as far as he could walk He came up too fast on that bridge overpa** Lord, the preacher sure gave a fine talk When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns But I never had a Lionel train Now I've got a truck if I keep payments up And it weighs thirty tons in the rain I've read a few lines from the poets And sometimes, I might cross the line I don't know the answer to the mystery of life But a woman sure helps pa** the time When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns But I never had a Lionel train Now I've got a truck if I keep payments up And it weighs thirty tons in the rain When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns But I never had a Lionel train Now I've got a truck if I keep payments up And it weighs thirty tons in the rain
