Lyrics for Song: The Truck Song
Lyrics for Album: My Baby Don't Tolerate [2003]



Turn down that highway. Turn up that dirt road

Well, It's over three days since I left Houston

Ole Black's my truck's name

She's held together by BF Good tires and bailing wire.



Well, I went to high school and I was not popular

Now I am older, and it don't matter

Ole Black's my truck's name, she's held together

I've slept inside her when I was tired.



I've been to Paris, and I don't mean Texas

Well, I met them vendors one time in London

Ole Black's my truck's name. She's held together

My lane's the right one when I'm in England.



My baby calls me. She says she loves me

And when I see her, then I believe her

Ole Black's my truck's name, and, oh, she don't say much

We leave together and lay some rubber.



On down that highway, turn up that dirt road

It's over three days since I left Houston

Ole Black's my truck's nam

She's held together by BF Good tires and bailing wire.



Turn down that highway, turn up that dirt road

It's over three days since I left Houston

Ole Black's my truck's name

She's held together by BF Good tires and bailing wire.



By BF Good tires and bailing wire...
