for 40 years i been running this interstate always trying to get to the next load and doing my best not to be late countless hours pushing hard and eating bad lonely nights and stressful days that come with the pay this aint no life to have a wife waiting for you at home she got tired of being a wife just talking on the phone i didn't blame her a bit when she quit and went her own way tell the truth i felt it coming just didn't know the day doing this job is hard as hell nothing to show for all these years of endless miles but its all that i know the memories fade away like the high line posts and the years go by and what you remember most are white lines, overweight fines and where your going next guess some day ill hang it up and park this damn truck and sit somewhere on the front porch thinking a lot about the things that i had seen the things ide lost pick myself up, go in the house and weigh the cost and take my last breath laying on the broke down cot doing this job is hard as hell nothing to show for all these years of endless miles but its all that i know the memories fade away like the high line posts and the years go by and what you remember most are white lines, overweight fines and where your going next
