No Good Truckin' Man

(album: Makin' A Mile - 1997)

Now Billy was a trucking man always moving freight
His only love was on the road hauling interstate
He tried his best to settle down but nothing went to plan
So Billy wore the handle of that no good trucking man

Now Jenny was the kind of girl who liked to stay at home
And Billy was a rambling man always on the road
She knew he'd never change his ways that couldn't be her luck
His home was on the highway in the cabin of his truck

Yes, Billy was a trucking man always moving freight
His only love was on the road hauling interstate
He tried his best to settle down but nothing went to plan
So Billy wore the handle of that no good trucking man, hey

Now Jenny grew despondent for she felt so all alone
And started seeing someone else when Billy wasn't home
His smooth sophisticated ways had won him Jenny's hand
But Jenny missed the loving of her no good trucking man

Now Billy heard the rumour so he headed back one night
The strangers car was leaving in the early morning light
Oh, what then really happened well there's all kinds of debates
But Billy swears until this day the old rig lost her brakes, hey

Hey, Billy was a trucking man always moving freight
His only love was on the road hauling interstate
He tried his best to settle down but nothing went to plan
So Billy wore the handle of that no good trucking man
Yes, Billy wore the handle of that no good trucking man
