Intro

Verse

I pulled my Diamond REO into a truck stop down the road

I asked for toast and coffee and the waitress told me no

She said she'd heard about me and all the wrong I'd done

About how I'd left my woman for this trucking I'd begun

Chorus

Here today, gone tomorrow

It's a hard luck woman

Taking to a truck loving man

Verse

A friend sat down beside me and he told me not to pine

It takes a certain breed of man to leave a home behind

I started into drinking and a thinking about my life

If you want to be an all night trucking man

Can't expect to have an all night wife

Chorus

Verse

I'm thinking about my story as I drive on down the line

I wonder about my wife at home and how she spends her time

And as the night drives on and on, my mind begins to shake

I'd rather have a woamn lay me down thean all these

Bennies to keep me awake.

Chorus
