Just Another Trucker Passing By Lyrics

Just Another Trucker Passing By

I should have filled my thermos at that truckstop I just passed
I'm forty miles to Dallas and I'm fading fast
I let my mind wander back . . just to help me stay awake
Does Mary Lou McCarty know I love her to this day

Some people called it puppy love but it's dogged me all these years
I roll down my window . . wash away the tears
I know she lives in Dallas and I know I'll never call
It's a long way from lost everything to once we had it all . . .

(Chorus)
Eighteen wheels roll on past a love that's been long gone
At least it's been long gone for one of us
The city lights are shining bright . . on me and this big rig tonight
While I'm drivin' past my one and only love
Eighteen wheels roll out of sight, I whisper Mary Lou goodnight
Just another trucker passing by

Well I'll unload in Tulsa maybe go out on the town
Then I'll circle back this way from that Tulsa turnaround
This road goes on forever and forever never ends
For now it's goodbye Dallas til I see you once again

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)
Eighteen wheels roll on past a love that's been long gone
At least it's been long gone for one of us
The city lights are shining bright . . on me and this big rig tonight
While I'm drivin' past my one and only love
Eighteen wheels roll out of sight, I whisper Mary Lou goodnight
Just another trucker passing by

Just another trucker passing by
