Lyrics
I'm goin' out on that highway listen to them big trucks whine
I'm goin' out on that highway listen to them big trucks whine
Oh white Freightliner won't you steal away my mind
There's bad new from Huston half my friends have died
There's bad new from Houston half my friends have died
Oh white Freightliner won't you steal away my mind
New Mexico ain't bad lord people there treat you kind
New Mexico ain't bad lord people there they treat you kind
Oh white Freightliner won't you steal away my mind
Oh lord I'm gonna ramble 'til I get back to where I came
Oh lord I'm gonna ramble 'til I get back to where I came
Oh white Freightliner won't you steal away my brain
