Darlin', I'm a'comin' down
|
Route number sixty-seven
|
I just got off the turnpike
|
Avoiding the Ohio State inspection
|
Johnny Law followed me up the road
|
Then he turned off and he let me go
|
I guess this old truck ain't worth shuttin' down
|
Your voice last night on the telephone
|
Said you wouldn't be there when I got home
|
So when I get to Cleveland
|
I'm gonna head back south
|
The light keeps comin' on
|
I got water in the fuel
|
My brakes are gone
|
I got a left front tire throwin' thread
|
By tomorrow morning I could be dead
|
Baby, maybe, you've been right all along
|
You said you couldn't stay
|
With a man who was always gone away
|
All you wanted to do was to settle down
|
You wanted to buy that little trailer
|
Out on the edge with the money you'd saved
|
It had a carport, a colour TV
|
And no place to turn around
|
The light keeps comin' on
|
I got water in the fuel
|
My brakes are gone
|
I got a left front tire throwin' thread
|
By tomorrow morning I could be dead
|
Baby, maybe, you've been right all along
|
Remember that winter when the lake froze over
|
We drove out there after we'd unloaded
|
We revved that truck and we spun it 'round and 'round
|
Then we left it idlin' out on that ice
|
Crawled in the sleeper and I held you tight
|
Baby, I'm sure on thin ice now
|
The light keeps comin' on
|
I got water in the fuel
|
My brakes are gone
|
I got on left tire throwin' thread
|
By tomorrow morning I could be dead
|
Baby, maybe, you've been right all along
|
Baby, maybe, you've been right all along
|
