Tell mama tonight I won’t be comin’ home Me and that eighteen wheels gonna git’ it on down the road Tell mama I’ll surely miss her when I’m gone But that long lonesome highway goes on - on and on I met her at the Dixie when she brought my ham and eggs We got to talkin’ and soon we was on a date I love her and she loves me a gold wedding band I parked that truck behind the barn and went out to farm the land Tell mama … Well I never cared for farmin’ and I miss my big old truck I parked that John Deere tractor and went to try my luck Dumpin’ dirt haulin’ sand and soon got my fill It wasn’t long and I was gone a workin’ at the mill Tell mama … I started gittin’ restless no matter how I tried I hated makin’ paper and being stuck inside There just ain’t no denyin’ I miss that open road I dusted off that ole’ Peterbilt and lined me up a load Tell mama … Well I love my wife and baby my house up on the hill She knows I need my truckin’ she knows I always will When the sun comes up on Sunday I grab my coffee cup And I’ll slip off behind the barn and I’ll fire that diesel up Tell mama tonight I won’t be comin’ home ‘Cause me and that three five nine … But that long lonesome highway goes on - on and on Tell mama
