Truck Drivers Promenade (Larry W Jones 09/23/2010) (song#6248)

My run was done and I had time to kill
Reefer would be loaded at morning light
Took a taxi to the top of the hill
And went to the truckers barn dance that night

I had gone to the dance to just observe
Watching the old country band as they played
Then I saw something that rattled my nerves
My girl danced the truck drivers promenade

Now my diesel rolls toward the sunset glow
I’m not wasting any time on mistakes
But when I turn on the old radio
They still play the truck drivers promenade

(instrumental)

I wonder if she knows the route I’m on
With her I guess I didn’t make the grade
But that’s alright although I know it’s wrong
To still love the truck drivers promenade

Now my diesel rolls toward the sunset glow
I’m not wasting any time on mistakes
But when I turn on the old radio
They still play the truck drivers promenade
