Black Lillies Smokestack Lady
Smokestack Lady, why you gotta treat me so mean?
I've been running these roads up and down, L.A. to New
Orleans
I gotta keep them wheels a rolling,
Rolling on down the line straight for you
I got them eighteen wheels long gone
Ain't seen my baby in too long
I got them smokestack, hauling jack, switchback,
kickin’ back
Runaway freeway blues
Come on sweet daddy, you know I'd never treat you that
way
I got a brand new dress and a pair a shoes and I'm
waiting for the day
You come rolling on up over that hill with your
smokestack flaming
And your big chrome grill smiling just for me
I got them eighteen wheels long gone
Ain't seen my baby in too long
I got them smokestack, hauling jack, switchback,
kickin’ back
Runaway freeway blues
Well I met me a voodoo woman, she said "look me in the
eye!
You got a good woman you truck driving fool slow down
or you're gonna die."
One more cup of coffee
One more puff on the old smokestack
I got them eighteen wheels long gone
Ain't seen my baby in too long
I got them smokestack, hauling jack, switchback,
kickin’ back
Runaway freeway blues
Roll on home daddy, lay that hammer down
The hounds are barking at my door and I really need
your loving now
I got a shotgun kiss waiting for you
Two loving arms and whatever you want to
I got them eighteen wheels long gone
Ain't seen my baby in too long
I got them smokestack, hauling jack, switchback,
kickin’ back
Runaway freeway blues
Well I was born down in Texas, raised up in Tennessee
Been looking for a woman since the day I was born and
baby you’re the one for me
I gotta keep them wheels rolling
Rolling on down the line straight for you
I got them eighteen wheels long gone
Ain't seen my baby in too long
I got them smokestack, hauling jack, switchback,
kickin’ back
Runaway freeway blues
Come on smokestack daddy let that engine run
It's time to kick her in high gear and we’re really
gonna have some fun
Tick tack tick tack tickety tack
Get on back I got a brand new pair of shoes
I got them eighteen wheels long gone
Ain't seen my baby in too long
I got them smokestack, hauling jack, switchback,
kickin’ back
Runaway freeway blues
I got them smokestack, hauling jack, switchback, kickin
back
Runaway freeway blues
