I couldn't pay attention,
Cause the payment's comin' due
on my rig in a week or so
Well, I'd rather take a beatin'
Can't make a livin' just layin' around
Well, I'm a payin' old daddy
and I got a long way to go
Cause every four lane interstate's
enough to drive a truck drive a while
You gotta keep your eyes open,
there's an exit every quarter of a mile
Detour signs are here to stay,
you drive 150 miles out of the way
Well, I'm a payload daddy
and I make a lot of friends that way
Well, it turned down a job
of wearing a big white collar
There's a whole lot of difference
between a dime and a dollar
And I'm not afraid of automation
I talk a lot about quittin', I never could
Number two diesel fuel is in my blood
Well, I'm a failed old daddy
and I sure do like to pay
Well, my baby said I never had it so good
I hope my luck rolls out,
I got a tailgate ticket up in Kalamazoo
Well, a woman never knows
Well, I'm a pale old daddy,
and I'm just passin' through
Well, I'm a pale old daddy,
and I'm just passin' through
