The Kenworth Of My Dreams Lyrics

The Kenworth Of My Dreams lyrics

I sold my old Camaro 

I sold my fishing boat 

A friend said he would cosign 

On a small commercial loan 

So I shopped around until I found 

A rig within my means 

I put fifteen thousand dollars down 

On the Kenworth of my dreams 



My sister’s husband helped me out 

When we took the thing apart 

Every bolt and piston 

I knew them all by heart 

We cleaned her out and painted her 

And brought her up to speed 

I proudly put my name upon 

The Kenworth of my dreams 



But sometimes late at night 

Out on some interstate 

I hear those sad country songs 

True love found, true love gone 

Lately I just turn the damn thing off 



A lot of folks just shook their heads 

Convinced that I’d lost mine 

They said living in a God-damned truck 

Is just a waste of time 

That to spend yhour life behind the wheel 

Ain’t as great as it might seem 

I just thanked them all and left one night 

In the Kenworth of my dreams 



But sometimes late at night 

Out on some interstate 

I hear those sad country songs 

True love found, true love gone 

Lately I just turn the damn thing off 



Business, it’s been pretty good 

I’ve no cause to complain 

I haul bourbon up to Buffalo 

And frozen foods to Maine 

Toxic waste or Quaker State 

It’s all the same to me 

I’ll go anywhere for anything 

In the Kenworth of my dreams...
