Interstate 40 Lyrics

Interstate 40 lyrics

Walkin' down the shoulder of Interstate 40 just a cussin' every rock that I
kick

Since I lost everything in the last depression I just give up and I quit

But I'm happy though I ain't had nothing since morning but a cold drink and a
pie

And it rained up the road bout an hour ago but I've walked these brogans
dry

But that's just my life out on Interstate 40 but I'm a happy son of a gun

The governments givin' me Interstate 40 and the good Lord's give me a thumb



Now you gotta be carefull out on Interstate 40 cause the highway men ain't
dumb

There's a law against hikin' out on Interstate 40 so you gotta know who to
thumb

But if you're like me you wouldn't mind at all cause what the law calls
punishment

Is ninety wonderful days of patchin' up old Interstate 40 cement

Yeah that's just my life...



Now the world's my castle and the grass my carpet and my heart is all my
own

The rains my bath and Interstate 40 is my home sweet home sweet home

Now when I die just plant me close to where the big trucks whine and moan

Just anywhere along ole Interstate 40 will rest my weary bones

Ha ha ha that's just my life...

And the good Lord's give me a thumb
