Dave Dudley Farewell To The Road Lyrics

Farewell To The Road Lyrics

(Farewell to the road farewell to the road)



Well ol' truck this is our farewell to the road I guess we're both out of
style



I could sell ye but I don't need the money you sure don't need the miles



That doctor says I gotta get off the road he tells me my eyes are sick



And they won't let you run when you get too old that windshield gets too
thick



We made many a run together ol' truck sometimes when I had me no help



I think I slept right behind that wheel you just kept driving yourself



Hey we had some swingers ol' timer like that gal from Tennessee



She rode with us pretty near six hundred miles ha that seat was warm for a
week



Oh yeah I gave that radio on to Jim Smith you know that sure was a dandy
thing



I'm gonna miss Ralph and Mike and Bill and all them boys



And hearin' them country people sing



And everytime I shave I see that scar that I picked up in Abilene



That gal was about as pretty as a summer night



But that boy that was with her he was awful mean



Well ol' timer I gotta be goin' and I'll drink to you down at the bar



You know it's gonna take me a month or two to get used to drivin' this car



Now this lot is yours as long as you want it and I'll see you every two or
three weeks



And maybe this just ain't the proper thing to say but here's hopin' you rust in
peace



(Farewell to the road farewell to the road)
