Well they told me tonight that Kelly's offsider just died [00:00:17]
I put my head in my hands [00:00:23]
And I just couldn't help but I cried [00:00:25]
And there's no use you telling me now [00:00:30]
That's the way of all life [00:00:32]
We're kind of different with Kelly [00:00:36]
Cause the offsider was his wife [00:00:38]
It was just a nickname the truckies all knew her by [00:00:43]
We'd all give her a wave [00:00:49]
And a blast of the horn as we'd fly [00:00:51]
And if Kelly pulled over [00:00:55]
And stopped by the road for a spell [00:00:57]
Kelly's grin and the offsider's smile [00:01:02]
Made us pull in as well [00:01:04]
Well the off-sider rode all of the highways [00:01:08]
There were to ride [00:01:11]
Nowhere in the world was she happy but by Kelly's side [00:01:15]
An after a while we all said [00:01:21]
That she brought us good luck [00:01:23]
But to them the whole world [00:01:27]
Was the cabin of a roaring truck [00:01:29]
So it's hard to take in that Kelly's offsider just died [00:01:46]
But Kelly's gonna take his offsider for one last ride [00:01:53]
With a casket of ashes an a semi that's rolling slow [00:01:59]
Kelly's heading for a place on the highway [00:02:06]
The truckies all know [00:02:08]
And he'll be leaving her where the tall trees bend an sigh [00:02:12]
Where she won't be lonely [00:02:18]
Cause she'll hear the big wheels rolling by [00:02:20]
And the sound of the horns from the trucks [00:02:24]
Passing day and night [00:02:27]
Kelly's offsider will be riding with him til he died [00:02:31]
Well they told me tonight that Kelly's offsider just died [00:02:37]
I put my head in my hands [00:02:44]
And I just couldn't help but I cried [00:02:45]
And it's no use you telling me now [00:02:50]
That's the way of all life [00:02:52]
Kind a different with Kelly [00:02:56]
Cause the offsider was his wife [00:02:58]
Oh kind a different with Kelly [00:03:02]
Cause the offsider was his wife [00:03:04]
