"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."
