won't you please play me a song
Play it for an old boy who's
a long long way from home
With a thousand miles ahead
and a thousand miles behind
A dollar in his pocket and a
You can pick out almost anything
Play Sweet Home Alabama or let
I don't care what kind of music just
as long as it sounds tough
Don't play any hurting songs cause
Now don't get the wrong impression
I ain't meaning to complain
But it would be Sunday morning
and I guess it had to rain
And I was doing pretty good until I
heard that durned old train
And I guess the combination's
And all I've got to cheer me
up is this all night radio
Why don't you play us something
hot and let this 18 wheeler
Well I called her from a phone
When I asked her if she loved
And if that's the way she wants it
that's the way it's gonna be
It might hurt a little while but that's
I've been jamming gears and
wondering what went wrong
Then I turned on the radio
and I heard a country song
And it kinda keeps me moving
helps me rolling down the line
But when you played that hurtin'
song I almost started cryin'
Willie drowned in Whiskey River
with Hank Jr's rowdy friends
The Oak Ridge Boys sang Elvira
Ricky played the mandolin
Then them old boys from Alabama
put the pedal to the medal
And I started feeling bad when George
Why don't you let old Mickey
Gilley get down on them 88's
Come on and play us something hot and let this
18 wheeler roll my blues away
