Truckers Lament - Buck Buchanan

Sun's comin' up, my eyes are red
Six lonely nights since I've slept in my bed
I keep on truckin', I've got bills to pay
Makin' a livin' on the lost highway
Makin' a livin' on the lost highway

Mile after mile, that diesel whines
Started out thinkin' "man it's easy all the time"
I keep my family fed though I'm never there
Makin a livin', it ain't always fair
Makin a livin', it ain't always fair

I keep rollin' on
Turn up the radio, sing along

Ain't gettin' younger, from all these years
My wife and children have cried bitter tears
I keep on truckin', I've got bills to pay
Ain't no getting off the lost highway
There ain't no getting off of the lost highway

Sun's comin' up, my eyes are red
Couple more days then I'll sleep in my bed
I've got some money. More than I have to pay
Take it home from the lost highway
I'm takin' it all home from the lost highway
Makin' a livin' on the lost highway
There ain't no getting off of the lost highway
