Tombstone Every Mile Lyrics - Red Simpson

All you big and burly men who roll the trucks along 

Better listen you'll be thankful when you hear my song 

You have really got it made if you're haulin' goods 

That's anyplace on earth but those Hainesville Woods 

It's a stretch of road up north in Maine that's never ever ever seen a smile 

If they'd burried all the truckers that's lost in them woods 

There'd be a tombstone every mile 

When you're loaded with potatoes and you're headed down 

You've got to drive the woods to get to Boston town 

When it's winter up in Maine you'd bettter check it over twice 

Cause that Hainesville road is just a ribbon of ice 

It's a stretch of road... 

[ guitar ] 

When you're talkin' to a trucker that's been haulin' goods 

Down that stretch of road in Maine they call the Hainesville Woods 

He'll tell you that dyin' and goin' down below 

Won't be half as bad as drivin' on that ice and snow 

It's a stretch of road... 

There'd be a tombstone every mile
