White Freightliner Blues

By townes van zandt

I'm goin out on the highway

Listen to them big trucks whine

I'm goin out on the highway

Listen to them big trucks whine

White freight liner

Won't you steal away my mind

Ah, new mexico ain't bad, lord

And the people there they treat you kind

And the people there they treat you kind

Well, it's bad news from houston

Half my friends are dying

Well, it's bad news from houston

Half my friends are dying

Ah, lord, I'm gonna ramble

Till I get back to where I came

Ah, lord, I'm gonna ramble

Till I get back to where I came

I'm goin out on the highway

Listen to them big trucks whine

I'm goin out on the highway

Listen to them big trucks whine
