Phantom 309 - Ferlin Husky[00:00:00]

Written by：Faile[00:00:03]

I was out on the west coast tryin' to make a buck[00:00:07]

And things didn't work out I was down on my luck[00:00:10]

Got tired a roamin' and bummin' around[00:00:14]

So I started thumbin' back east toward my home town[00:00:17]

Made a lot of miles the first two days[00:00:21]

And I figured I'd be home in week if my luck held out this way[00:00:24]

But the third night I got stranded way out of town[00:00:28]

At a cold lonely crossroads rain was pourin' down[00:00:32]

I was hungry and freezin' done caught a chill[00:00:38]

When the lights of a big semi topped the hill[00:00:42]

Lord I sure was glad to hear them air brakes come on[00:00:46]

And I climbed in that cab where I knew it'd be warm[00:00:50]

At the wheel sit a big man he weighed about two ten[00:00:54]

He stuck out his hand and said with a grin[00:00:59]

Big joe's the name I told him mine[00:01:03]

And he said the name of my rig is phantom 309[00:01:07]

I asked him why he called his rig such a name[00:01:11]

He said son this old mack can put 'em all to shame[00:01:15]

There ain't a driver or a rig a runnin' any line[00:01:20]

Ain't seen nothin' but taillights from phantom 309[00:01:23]

Well we rode and talked the better part of the night[00:01:27]

When the lights of a truck stop came in sight[00:01:31]

He said I'm sorry son this is as far as you go[00:01:35]

'Cause I gotta make a turn just on up the road[00:01:39]

Well he tossed me a dime as he pulled her in low[00:01:42]

And said have yourself a cup on old big joe[00:01:46]

When joe and his rig roared out in the night[00:01:51]

In nothin' flat he was clean out of sight[00:01:55]

Well I went inside and ordered me a cup[00:01:58]

Told the waiter big joe was settin' me up[00:02:02]

Aw you coulda heard a pin drop it got deathly quiet[00:02:06]

And the waiter's face turned kinda white[00:02:09]

Well did I say something wrong I said with a halfway grin[00:02:13]

He said naw this happens every now and then[00:02:16]

Ever' driver in here knows big joe[00:02:20]

But son let me tell you what happened about ten years ago[00:02:24]

At the crossroads tonight where you flagged him down[00:02:28]

There was a bus load of kids comin' from town[00:02:32]

And they were right in the middle when big joe topped the hill[00:02:35]

It could have been slaughter but he turned his wheel[00:02:39]

Well joe lost control went into a skid[00:02:44]

And gave his life to save that bunch a kids[00:02:48]

And there at that crossroads was the end of the line[00:02:52]

For big joe and phantom 309[00:02:57]

But every now and then some hiker'll come by[00:03:01]

And like you big joe'll give 'em a ride[00:03:05]

Here have another cup and forget about the dime[00:03:08]

Keep it as a souvenir from big joe and phantom 309[00:03:12]
