Lookin' At The World Thru A Windshield

(Album: Six Days On The Road - 1987)

When I was just a little bitty kid I remembered 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 running 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 wanting to see in Nashville
And I'm down around Dallas and a'rolling on fast tonight

Long strips of rubber that you see
Were burned off of this rig by the likes of me
And they'll ride along the highways in this land
I'm gonna sign my name in this diesel smoke
And let the ones that come behind me choke

Well, I'm looking at the world through a windshield
Watching it a flying by me at the right
I got a sweet little thing I'm wanting to see in Nashville
And I'm down around Dallas and a'rolling on fast 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, sing north and heading for Baltimore
Of something 'bout two thousand miles away

Well, I'm looking at the world through a windshield
Watching it a flying by me at the right
I got a sweet little thing I'm wanting to see in Nashville
And I'm down around Dallas and a'rolling on fast tonight
I'm down around Dallas and a'rolling on fast tonight
