There Ain't No Easy Run Lyrics - Dave Dudley

I was sittin' in the terminal waitin' for my load 

When a greenhorn driver came in off of the road 

I heard him tell that foreman get my little pink slip 

This run's too tough and I'm gonna quit 

Now the foreman that day happened to be old Joe 

Man he was older than time 

He said, "Son, how long you been drivin' this rig 

You know I drove all shapes, forms, fashions and kinds 

Here you are worried about this one little trip 

Why I drove a million miles and then some" 

He looked that greenhorn right in the eye and he said 

Boy there ain't no easy run 

"I drove for Roadway, Interstate, Hopewell, Great Lakes 

Overnight and Time, Mayflower and Freight Line 

Specter, Yellow Transit, Western, and Gillette 

Redball, Rider Northwestern, Big CF 

Beaver & Bell, Hoover and McLeans 

Gateway Motor Freight , Transport, Vikings 

Dixie, Ohio, and Trans American Some 

East Texas, Mason Dixon, Watkin and Transcon 

Wilson Associate got all that drivin' done 

And I'll tell you boy there ain't no easy runs" 

"Now if you got a gal in Texas, they'll send you up to Maine 

If you got a gal in New York, they'll send you out to the plains 

I know what your problem is you got woman trouble, son 

Well like I said there ain't no easy run" 

"I drove for Navajo, Brady, Goose, DC 

North American, Allied, Chicago Motor Freight & Pie 

Bee Mac & Curtis, Eastern and NX 

Garrett & Ace, Federal & ETM 

And Neptune Hereon, Brinks and Sea Lab 

Dudley, Dorsey Bekins and Cunningham 

Cooper, Mc Roary, Jones and American too 

Acme and Central & Standard and Boston Sue 

And Yunhan and Buckingham got all that drivin' done 

And I'll tell you, boy there ain't no easy run" 

I went backward, forwards, uphill, downhill 

Chills spills thrills and pills 

And how about Atlas & Cramer 

Alabama, Hiway Express, Murphy Line 

And Long, and Harris, General Stickland, Eden & Key 

How about that Nashville by-pass on a Friday afternoon 

That'll blow yer shorts off 

That's sumpin else 

Then there's, Atlanta, Daily, McCray, Wheeling, Rockwell, Gilbert
