There's nothing can wipe out my fear of burnin' And that's why the trucks won't let me sleep at night My window overlooks the highway goin' out And the interstate is rolled through every night I look out and see the semis down below me Grinding to a halt before the light There's a bulldog mac with old Bob in the cabin And I wonder what the next big rig will be Maybe old red net or even the Mary Kathleen And the next to roll I know should be me And I don't sleep at night because the trucks won't let me The wheels are rollin' thunder in my brain The bottle by my side keeps back the nightmare Till the sound of diesels bring it back again And I still can see the flames on Razor Mountain I smell the smoke and feel it blur my sight There's nothing can wipe out my fear of burnin' And that's why the trucks won't let me sleep at night No transport bus will take me on because they say I'm not the driver now I used to be They seem to think the bottles really got me down Ah, but put me in a cabin and they'll see And I'll bet my hands are steady as the next man And I sometimes think there's diesel in my vein Oh, what other reason could there be for feelin' The way I do about the old four lane But I don't sleep at night because the trucks won't let me The wheels are rollin' thunder in my brain The bottle by my side keeps back the nightmare Till the sound of diesels bring it back again And I still can see the flames on Razor Mountain I smell the smoke and feel it blur my sight There's nothing can wipe out my fear of burnin' And that's why the trucks won't let me sleep at night
