Truck Driver's Lament Lyrics - Icicle Works

(McNabb) 

You might step up here, have you no soles on your shoes 

You wear that lost look girl 

Your winter coat is soaked right through 

I'm smokin' Luckies, tell me what they do for you 

'Cos I'm a frame of reference 

As to what can happen when you lose 

You get somewhere to find that it's behind you 

Leave your dreams where they are 

They last a while that way 

Save wasted time 

Spend it 

When you've nothing else to do 

You've gotta get high to understand the blues 

Hank Williams never came this way 

You still can hear him sing 

On the eight-track in the driver's cab 

My tire-chain and my wedding ring 

So come here little girl 

Your body's soft and warm 

She is a good wife 

She's forgotten just how to treat her man
