Truckin' Lyrics - Dwight Yoakam

Truckin' - got my chips cashed in 

Keep Truckin' - like the doodah man 

Together - more or less in line 

Just keep truckin' on 

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street 

Chicago, New York, Detroit, it's all the same street 

Your typical city involved in a typical daydream 

Hangin' it up and see what tomorrow brings 

Dallas - got a soft machine 

Houston - too close to New Orleans 

New York - got the ways and means 

But just won't let you be 

Most of the cats you meet on the street speak of True Love 

Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home 

One of these days they know they gotta get goin' 

Out of the door and down to the street all alone

Truckin' - like the doodah man 

Once told me you got to play your hand 

Sometimes - the cards ain't worth a damn 

If you don't lay 'em down 

Sometimes the light's all shining on me 

Other times I can barely see 

Lately it occurs to me 

What a long strange trip it's been 

Hey, what in the world ever became of sweet Jane? 

She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same 

Living on reds, vitamin C and cocaine 

All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame" 

Truckin' - up to Buffalo 

Been thinkin' - you got to mellow slow 

Take time - you pick a place to go 

And just keep truckin' on

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Sitting and staring out of a hotel window 

Got a tip they're kicking the door in again 

I'd like to get some sleep before I travel 

But if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in 

Busted - down on Bourbon Street 

Set up - like a bowling pin 

Knocked down - it gets to wearing thin 

They just won't let you be 

You're sick of hanging around and you'd like to travel 

Get tired of traveling, you'd like to settle down 

I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying 

Get out of the door - light out and look all around 

Sometimes the light's all shining on me 

Other times I can barely see 

Lately it occurs to me 

What a long strange trip it's been 

Truckin' - I'm a goin' home 

Whoa - oh, baby, back where I belong 

Back home - sit down and patch my bones 

And get back truckin' on.
