Pulled out of Linden, Texas
Two days and nights ago
I징짱ve been livin징짱 on pills and burgies
Till the whites of my eyes don징짱t show
Southbound headlights are makin징짱 me blind
I징짱m too damn tired to blink
My toes are numb and my brains gone numb
And I can just barely think
Sweet Melinda, my wife
The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler
Cuts through me like a knife
징짱Cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin징짱 on empty
Most all of my life
Two more hours of daylight
It징짱s startin징짱 to rain again
A sign up ahead says 징째Welcome to Paradise
Population Ten징짹
Well me and this truck and that old white line
Stumblin징짱 on and on
Like three old drinkin징짱 buddies
Comin징짱 home at dawn
