The World's Last Truck Drivin' Man - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]
The year is two thousand and eighty[00:00:10]
And hardly a highway remains[00:00:15]
Gone are the days of the diesel[00:00:20]
And songs about wrecks in the rain[00:00:25]
The Macs and MacLeans have all rusted away[00:00:30]
The Harvesters rot in the sand[00:00:35]
And in a deserted truck stop sits Tennessee Thompson[00:00:40]
The world's last truck driving man[00:00:45]
He lit up the world's last Lucky[00:00:50]
Got his last cup of coffee refilled[00:00:55]
Then he stared at the sky for one final high[00:01:00]
Took the world's last little white pill[00:01:05]
He said world you are losing your truckers[00:01:10]
And your suckers do not give a damn[00:01:16]
You're freighting in space and there just ain't no place[00:01:20]
For a hard riding truck driving man[00:01:26]
The world's last truck driving man[00:01:31]
His left arm is losing its tan[00:01:36]
The rest all went broke and just went up in smoke[00:01:41]
He's the world's last truck driving man[00:01:46]
Then he sat there and drank to old memories[00:01:51]
And Doreen sat there drying his tears[00:01:56]
Doreen was the world's last truck stopping waitress[00:02:02]
She was weary and worn with the years[00:02:07]
So he put his last dime in the world's last jukebox[00:02:12]
For the lady he'd loved for so long[00:02:17]
And there in that deserted truck stop they danced[00:02:22]
To the world's last truck driving song[00:02:27]
Then he climbed up inside his old semi[00:02:37]
And Doreen she crawled up at his side[00:02:42]
He shifted it down and the diesel's sad sound[00:02:47]
Said this is your last homeward ride[00:02:52]
So he whispered 10-4 to her and the Lord[00:02:57]
As the microphone fell from his hand[00:03:02]
And he came to the exit marked Tennessee Thompson[00:03:07]
The world's last truck driving man[00:03:12]
He was high balling straight through them bright pearly gates[00:03:17]
When behind in the dust of his rig[00:03:22]
Come the wailing siren of old Smokey McKenzie[00:03:27]
The world's last interstate pig[00:03:32]
Hear them roar see them fly past the clouds through the sky[00:03:37]
On that highway that don't have an end[00:03:42]
But you know that's heaven for Tennessee Thompson[00:03:47]
The world's last truck driving man and Doreen[00:03:52]
The world's last truck driving man[00:03:58]
10-4 and gone[00:04:04]
