joe lewis - truck driver's night run blues lyrics

Loading...

i used to live away down south when i was just a boy
i grew up in a cotton patch, and never had much joy
i said, this ain’t no life of joy, i’m a+gonna leave this land
for if i live a thousand years, a hoe won’t fit my hand
(yodeling)

i came up to your city, boys, and thought i’d try my luck
but all the luck i’ve had is bad, and so i drive this truck
and now i’ve got the night+run blues, my luck ain’t gettin’ no worse
for i’ll be takin’ my last trip put in that big black he+rs+
(yodeling)

i’ve lost my pep and appetite and my eyes are always red
i sleep all day and drive all night, i’d just as soon be dead
i feel like that old hoot+owl that calls so mournfully
i wish that i had stayed down south––this night run’s k!llin’ me
(yodeling)

my coffee cup is empty, boys, and though i hatе to part
the clock tells me it’s timе to go, so i guess i’ll have to start
until you see ol’ joe again, i’ll sing the blues, my friends
for when i drive a truck all night, i’m worn+out at the end
(yodeling)
