I've witnessed
those one night stands
Must have played
in a thousand bands
But I'm just here tonight
tomorrow I'll be gone
Seen folks show their blacker sides
Seen 'em die just for foolish pride
And those drivers always ask to hear
that same old song
That's a big ten-four
From your back door
Just put that hammer down
This young man feels
Those eighteen wheels
That keep turning 'round to
take me down to shaky town
I've heard all those hard luck tales
From all of you U.S. males
I've heard you tell those lies
about the love you've known
And I've followed
those highway signs
And I've run down
those thin white lines
Like those drivers
this old road is all I call my own
That's a big ten-four
From your back door
Just put that hammer down
This young man feels
Those eighteen wheels
That keep turning 'round to
take me down to shaky town
All the way down to shaky town
All the way down to shaky town
All the way down to shaky town
All the way down to shaky town
