18 wheeler fever, driving me home
I just keep on pullin', long about a heavy load
I'd be so much better if I could get her off my mind
Well, that long black ribbon's gettin' longer all the time
When I left my home down in Austin Texas
Just a pullin' on a reefer load
Headed up for that old midwest
Up in an awful cold
She just stood and shook her head
And said that's a sorry way to go
But it's six weeks later now and two days more
Just maybe I'll be headed home
18 wheeler fever, driving me home
This old diesel's weaving all over the damned old road
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open, I gotta keep on makin' time
That long black ribbon's gettin' longer all the time
Well, it's been sung about a thousand times
That old song about a truck drivers life
How he's so alone out on that open road
And it's hard to keep his wife satisfied at home
It's a damn old shame, you know it is
When that love becomes a sacrifice
Well, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
There's two loves in a truck drivers life
Yeah, too much time for a man's mind to wonder out on that old open road
He gets used to the whine and hum of wheels and the way they roll
And they love that woman when he's home gonna give up all his time
Well, the bills roll in and the time begins gotta hit that old highway right
18 wheeler fever, keeps driving on
This old diesel's weaving all over the damned old road
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open, I gotta keep on makin' time
That long black ribbon gettin' longer all the time
Well, I'd be so much better if I could get her off my worried mind
That long black ribbon's gettin' longer all the time
That long black ribbon's gettin' longer all the time
