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).
