Wake up early in the morning
Grab a thermos full of coffee
And I hit the road
I got a trailer full of something
That I picked up in Idaho

Oh my loads a little heavy
But it won’t hurt if they don’t know

I’ve been broke down and lonesome
Hauling my whole life away
I seen that black dog
Done 1800 miles in one day

So I keep the hammer down
Keep an eye out for smokeys on the loose
Tell me what’s a man to do
I got the long hauling blues

A little trucker speed
Will keep me on my feet
When the nights are long
Don’t take it from me
But this cab is lizard free
But hey to each their own

Well I ain’t got no time to sleep
I got 500 miles ‘til I’m home

I’ve been broke down in lonesome
Hauling my whole life away
I seen that black dog
Done 1800 miles in one day

So I keep the hammer down
Keep an eye out for smokeys on the loose
Tell me what’s a man to do
I got the long hauling blues

Tell me what’s a man to do
I got the long hauling blues
