Verse 1

I drive I-95 from Miami all the way to Boston
I've had three wives, but when I was on the road, I lost 'em
The first wife said, I knew too many ladies
The second wife said, that I could go to Hades
The third wife grabbed my clothes and out the door, she tossed 'em

Verse 2

I met the 'Girl on the Billboard', but I lost her to Del
Met the 'Truck Driver's Queen' and she was looking swell
Drove 'Tombstone Every Mile' with a hazardous load
And too many times, spent 'Six Days on the Road'
And got passed by the 'Phantom", like ol' Red used to tell

Bridge
I've got a twenty-one wheeler, boys, and I ain't jokin'
eighteen on the ground and I always keep 'em smokin'
I got a fifth wheel, a steering wheel, and, boys, I'm on the ball
Cause I'm the big wheel that's drivin' it all

Verse 3

Then I met a sweet gal that came from Kalamazoo
She loved big rigs and drivin' as much as I do
Now, when I need a rest, she gives me a break
If inspection's open, knows the back roads to take
Think the Lord finally gave me a lady that I could be true to
