The Dying Truck Driver - Ry Cooder[00:00:01]

Well we made our way up 99 in the springtime of the year[00:00:12]

The San Joaquin was all in bloom and songbirds everywhere[00:00:21]

We chanced upon a workingman lying by the road[00:00:30]

I judged him for a truck driver by the clothes he wore[00:00:39]

We drew some nearer to him then inquirin' of his name[00:00:51]

Well here's three little angels come down for to carry me home[00:01:00]

Then bear me up to Jesus now my Savior I shall see[00:01:09]

You ain't no regular angels boys but that's alright by me[00:01:18]

Then Lefty stepping forward addressed the dyin' man[00:01:30]

Saying We're no angels brother but we'll do all we can[00:01:39]

What cowards set upon you sir and dealt the fatal blow [00:01:48]

We'll pull out every workingman from here to Ohio[00:01:57]

It was no vigilante gang nor ranch-boss thugs this time[00:02:45]

But the meatloaf special dinner I had on Highway 99[00:02:54]

A comely waitress served me there and she cooled me with her fan[00:03:03]

But fatal meatloaf has struck down this old truck drivin' man[00:03:12]

Then Lefty reached down in his bag saying You ain't dyin' friend[00:03:24]

Just take a drink of whiskey now you'll feel alright again[00:03:33]

All through the night we lingered there and passed that bottle round[00:03:42]

We hauled aboard at sunrise lit out for Frisco town[00:03:52]

Now the workingman must be we'll warned whenever headlines scream[00:04:03]

Your rights must yield the bombs must fall to save democracy[00:04:12]

The flag they fly their stew of lies served up at votin' time[00:04:22]

Like poison under the gravy on Highway 99[00:04:31]
