Текст песни Freightliner Fever

I drive a big freightliner an' I made my last payment today.
An' I drive to all points outta New York City to LA.
Well, the little woman smiles when I pack up to leave her
I'll soon be back, but I just got the fever,
She's a believer.
I got the freightliner fever.

There's a railroad a-runnin' by a highway out in Santa Fe.
An' I passed an old freight train makin' his run the other day.
Merle Haggard said to his fireman, so pale:
He's blowin' the freight train off of the rails.
He got the fever.
He got the freightliner fever.

Well, Pierce said to Red, what you carryin' in that cigarette
pack?
I said: "I got my second driver an' he's gonna drive her all
the way back."
It's a big black pill, so round an' round.
The driver's call it west coast turnaround.
It's for the fever.
The ol' freightliner fever.

Instrumental break.

Well, I passed Dave Dudley up in Pittsburg, Pensylvania
An' I passed Del Reeves in Shreeveport, Louisianna.
Dick Curtis got hung up on a hill in Maine,
I pulled him over with my forty-foot chain.
He got the fever, Fever
He got the freightliner fever.

I mean I passed everything from a Jimmy to a Greyhound bus.
I'm gonna spend a few days on the west coast at the end of my run.
An old giddy-up, go an' a little bit of luck,
Gonna pass Red Simpson and his runaway truck,
He got the fever, Fever
He got the freightliner fever.

Well, Pierce said to Red, what you carryin' in that cigarette
pack?
I said: "I got my second driver an' he's gonna drive her all
the way back."
It's a big black pill, so long an' so round.
To a driver, it's a west coast turnaround.
It's for the fever. Fever
That ol' freightliner fever.

Yeah, out on this road you pass a lot of them old contry boys,
I seen Carl Smith an' Charley Pride.
Ernest Tubbs, Bill Monroe.
Conway Twitty, Waylon Jennings.
See Dave Dudley, George Jones.
Porter Wagoner, Bill Anderson.
Faron Young, Stonewall Jackson.
