Out in the badlands of New Mexico
Got a Freightliner and I'm headed down the road
Come of age boy in a world full of hate
The sun is coming up today
My lady left just the other day
My crops are growing well my kids are fed
But Trucker John he's got a long way to go
But Trucker John he's got a long way to go
Her lips remind me of a place
To where two roads meet a trace
The fox is out of the den his mind is spent
The desert kind they don't live long
Eighteen hot wheels go and burn the road
I'm running gunning for a new way of life
But Trucker John he's got a long way to go
But Trucker John he's got a long way to go
But Trucker John he's got a long way to go
But Trucker John he's got a long way to go
