{Verse 1}
Well when I was just a little bitty kid
I remember one time Mommy said
Daddy sends you all his love, from Frisco Bay
Well I didn t understand till I was grown
Why my Daddy didn t spend a little time at home
Instead of running round the country that way
{Chorus}
Oh I m looking at the world through a windshield
Seeing everything in a little bit different light
[Watching it fly by me on the right]
I got a sweet little thing that I m dying to see in Nashville
And I m down around Dallas and rolling on south tonight
Intro Riff
{Verse 2}
Well long strips of rubber that you see
Were burnt off of this rig by the likes of me
And they ll rot along the highways in this land
I m gonna write my name in this diesel smoke
And let the ones that come along behind me choke
And try to keep this pace I m setting anytime that they can
{Chorus}
{Verse 3}
Well I push this rig through the sleet and rain
And I ve driven through the rough terrain
Of the rockies to the docks of old L.A.
On down that old pacific shore
I swing north and head for Baltimore
Or some place bout 2000 miles away
{Chorus}
And I m down around Dallas and rolling on south tonight
