D J Memphis Joe Lyrics

Headin' down to Memphis draggin' a heavy load



Cold night wind a blowin' on a long dark stretch of road



The night had been a long one the hours were going slow



Started gettin' sleepy so turned on my radio



(Hi welcome to the night show got a ton of records here to spin



If you're out there traveling on the road oh be careful there my friends



Got news alive at 55 and understand the weatherman says snow



Till six a.m. just be my guest I'm DJ Memphis Joe)



Just rolled on through Brownsville my rig was runnin' fine



Heard Joe give a warnin' icy roads on down the line



Well I better gear her down now there's a bad curve up ahead



And if by chance I hit that ice I might wind up dead



(Yeah you listen to the night show for all you truck drivin' men



I got a brand new record here called Diesel No 10



Now the snow's begun so on your run just take it kinda slow



And keep your dial set where it is to DJ Memphis Joe)



I can just see Memphis down in the morning light



Hear Joe signin' off now we made it through another night



But anytime I'm a travelin' down a long dark road



There'll be a station somewhere with a DJ named of Joe
