When I was just a little bitty kid I remember one time Mama said
Daddy sends you all his love from Frisco Bay
I didn't understand till I was grown
why my Daddy didn't spend a little time at home
Instead of runnin' around the country that way
Now I'm looking at the world through a windshield
And see everything in a little bit different light
I got a sweet little thing I'm wantin' to see in Atlanta
But I'm down around Dallas and a'rollin' on south tonight
Long strips of rubber that you see
Were burned off of this rig by the likes of me
They'll rot along the highways in this land
I'm gonna sign my name in that diesel smoke
And let the ones that come along behind me choke
And keep this pace I'm a settin',night and day
Oh I'm looking at the world through a windshield
Watchin' it a flyin' by me on the right
I got a sweet little thing I'm wantin' to see in Memphis
But I'm down around Dallas and a'rollin' on south tonight
Well I've pushed this rig through sleet and rain
And I've driven through the rough terrain
Of the Rockies to the docks of old L.A.
On down that old Pacific shore, swing north and head for Baltimore
Somewhere around three thousand miles away
Now I'm looking at the world through a windshield
Watchin' it a flyin' by me on the right
I got a sweet little thing I'm wantin' to see in Nashville
And I'm down around Dallas and a'rollin' on south tonight
