Pulled out of Linden, Texas Two days and nights ago I`ve been livin` on pills and burgies Till the whites of my eyes don`t show
Southbound headlights are makin` me blind I`m too damn tired to blink My toes are numb and my brains gone dumb And I can just barely think
Sweet Melinda, my wife The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler Cuts through me like a knife `Cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife I been ridin` on empty Most all of my life
Two more hours of daylight It`s startin` to rain again A sign up ahead says “Welcome to Paradise Population Ten”
Well me and this truck and that old white line Stumblin` on and on Like three old drinkin` buddies Comin` home at dawn
