He's been singin' sad songs
Thinkin' how she's long gone
He's treatin' those that love him wrong
He's ornery as the night is long
He's been singin' sad songs
Thinkin' how she's long gone
Burnin' up the midnight oil
Special brand of big-rig toil
It's enough to make your blood boil
These mountain roads'll prove my foil
Burnin' up the midnight oil
Gonna shuffle off this mortal coil
