Intro
Verse
I pulled my Diamond REO into a truck stop down the road
I asked for toast and coffee and the waitress told me no
She said she'd heard about me and all the wrong I'd done
About how I'd left my woman for this trucking I'd begun
Chorus
Here today, gone tomorrow
It's a hard luck woman
Taking to a truck loving man
Verse
A friend sat down beside me and he told me not to pine
It takes a certain breed of man to leave a home behind
I started into drinking and a thinking about my life
If you want to be an all night trucking man
Can't expect to have an all night wife
Chorus
Verse
I'm thinking about my story as I drive on down the line
I wonder about my wife at home and how she spends her time
And as the night drives on and on, my mind begins to shake
I'd rather have a woamn lay me down thean all these
Bennies to keep me awake.
