"Haggard's on the radio,
Singin' 'bout them big wheels movin' on,
And behind me there's a heavy load
That's gotta be in Denver before dawn.
Sometimes I wonder as I look back
And see that big ol' trailer in the mirror,
Was this kind of life worth losing all I left
Behind me through the years.
But I'll keep jamming them gears
For as long as I'm here,
Another million miles, it ain't no big deal.
And I'll give up driving this truck
When they pry my stone cold fingers from the wheel.
Staring out the windshield,
I think about the times away from home,
Do the children know how sad I feel
In knowing what I've missed
And now they're grown?
But I can't quit, it's in my blood,
Guess it'll take dyin' and when I do,
I'll leave it to my youngest son,
He seems to want to fill his old man's shoes.
But I'll keep jamming them gears
for as long as I'm here,
Another million miles, it ain't no big deal.
And I'll give up driving this truck
When they pry my stone cold fingers from the wheel."
