I'm goin out on the highway
listen to them big trucks whine
I'm goin out on the highway
listen to them big trucks whine
White freightliner
won't you steal away my mind
Ah, New Mexico ain't bad, Lord
and the people there they treat you kind
and the people there they treat you kind
Well, it's bad news from Houston
half my friends are dying
Well, it's bad news from Houston

Ah, Lord, I'm gonna ramble
till I get back to where I came
Ah, Lord, I'm gonna ramble
till I get back to where I came
I'm goin out on the highway

You took a chance
On Jumbo's love
If only she woulda
Gave you the shove
That might have sent you
On your way
But it's too late now
You got a letter today...
Life and love
Has left you shafted
And of on top of that
You just got drafted
