letra de truck driver's nightmare - larry scott (country)
well, i’d been pushin’ my rig for fourteen days when i pulled in the terminal gate
because of sleet, rain, and snow, i was running about three days late
i checked at the dispatcher’s window to see what they had for me
then they handed me a note which said i was due in cape kennedy
well, i climbed up in my sleeper (not much use goin’ home)
i’d phone the wife in the morning, then grab a bite and i’d be gone
i cranked up my ol’ freightliner, checked my brakеs and then my tires
just about eight hours latеr, i was passing through fort myers
when i arrived, they backed me up to a missile, under the ground
loaded my old flatbed rig with eighty-thousand pounds
i signed the book, and passed the guard at 7:35
when i noticed in red letters, danger: this missile is alive
now you talk about a nervous wreck, my clothes was soakin’ wet
i had to use the sleeper curtain to wipe away the sweat
i could even picture my mother-in-law at my house, drinkin’ beer
after they cashed in my insurance that i took out last year
my ol’ diesel jogged along, rockin’ back and forth
through the southland to the mountains, and just a little farther north
in my mirror, i could see my hair was turning grey
my eyes looked like two poached eggs on top of georgia clay
uh then, somewhere in north carolina, i stopped to change my pants
i was the biggest laugh at that truck stop, doin’ the st. vitus dance
i ate a pack of nodoz, swallowed a bottle of coke
bought a pack of cigarettes (and i don’t even smoke)
that night, i hit the ol’ blue ridge, and started up the climb
snow and sleet four feet deep, too scared to look behind
around dead man’s curve, and horseshoe bend, down to the lowest gear
i read a sign upon a rock saying that heaven was near
now, i don’t mind tellin’ ya, i prayed out loud, and felt real proud when i found that missile place
i wondered if it would go to mars, or somewhere else in outer sp-ce
i told the man about my ride, and how i sweated blood
(heh) he said, son, this is the government salvage yard; that missile is a dud
