I Drive a Big Freightliner
I Drive a Big Freightliner
We're a long, long way to where we're bound
We want to get back to our hometown
We've got the fever
Freightliner fever
Well, I passed Dave Dudley up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
And I passed Dale Reeves down in Shreveport, Louisiana
Dick Curtis got stuck on a hill up in Maine
I pulled him out of the car
I pulled him over with a 40-foot chain
He's got the fever
Freightliner fever
I've been a-passin' everything from a jimmy to a greyhound buck
I'm gonna spend a few days on the coast at the end of my run
With old Giddy up and go and a little bit of luck
I'm gonna pass Rick Simpson in his runaway truck
He's got the fever
Freightliner fever
Webber said,
Son,
who's a-sleepin' in the rack?
I said,
I got my second driver
And he's gonna drive me all the way back
Cause it's a long, long way to where we're bound
And we want to make it back to our hometown
We've got the fever
Freightliner fever
Yeah, out here on the road
You'd love to pass anybody
Especially them country pickers
The other day I passed Carl Smith
Passin' Charles Pryde
Old E.T., Bill Monroe, Conway Tweedy
Tammy, Loretta, Dolly, Simon Crum
Thought I seen George Jones
Oh, that's Willie Nelson
Hi, doggies
I even passed a fever there for a while
