GUEST,adavis@truman.edu Lyr Req: Truck driving son of a gun (4) RE: Lyr Req: Truck driving son of a gun 08 Oct 02


Pretty retrograde stuff. My father used to play the tape while he worked on his car, and I seem to have absorbed it. Dave Dudley did it, yeah, Red Sovine too. Haven't thought about it in years -- very roughly, from memory:

I got a cute little gal in every eastern town
From Boston to St. Lou'--
There's some that I don't even know
But I'm a lookin' forward to
Cause I like my women
Everywhere I go
So roll on big wheels
Don't you roll so slow.

Big Al(?) is waitin' in Memphis
And Betty Lou in Maine
I got a good ol' gal in Knoxville
But man I forgot her name
But not her figure
I remember that
Yeah I'm a kiss-stealin'
Wheelin', dealin'
Truck-drivin' sonofagun.

I got a steady little baby
Waitin' back home for me
There are six more towns to go
Till I'm back in Tennessee
And six more women
At least I know
So roll on big wheels
Don't you roll so slow.

(Somewhere there's the tag:I'm movin' faster
Than a Jimmy-8
If you think I'm losin' time
You're runnin late).
