lyrics

Slap myself to stay awake, these clouds are getting dark
was that thunder that I heard, I wish I was in park
it's been several hours now since we last stopped for gas
my lead foot's gone soft, there's a pain in my ass

thumping on the windshield now the rain is coming down
wipers turned up the max, we're far from any town
gone from dark to darker, damn these headlights in my mirror
Oh, to be back on my couch watching T.V, drinking beer

there's trucks passing trucks, and trucks passing cars
the rain in pouring down so hard I can't tell where we are
they're passing on the left, they're passing on the right
gotta do my best to make it home tonight

now this sonabitch here seems he don't know how to pass
two trucks riding side by side and he won't step on the gas
there's a line a cars twenty long waiting restless in the rain
for this blame fool to pass that Mack and get in the right lane

damn it all, construction zone ahead for the next ten miles
tryin' not to lose my mind, I think of puppy dogs and smiles
this is 'bout the the worst stretch of driving that I've seen
I don't think that I'm better for it, I feel I'm getting mean

there's trucks passing trucks, and trucks passing cars
the rain in pouring down so hard I can't tell where we are
they're passing on the left, they're passing on the right
gotta do my best to make it home tonight

this twisting grade is slowly rising, there's still a long, long way to go
hands on the wheel, don't look over, that river valley's far below

here comes Johnny Law now in his souped up SUV
lights are blinkin', sirens blarin', hope he ain't coming for me
now the cars in front of me have all stepped on their brakes
I hear the sound echoing down of the diesels and their jakes

grinding to a halt, this freeway's like a parking lot
pass around that number now my nerves are almost shot
we ain't goin' nowhere soon, I figure, "what the heck?"
ambulances screaming by, looks like there's been a wreck

there's trucks passing trucks, and trucks passing cars
they're blowing' on their horns and their grating on their bars
they're passing on the left, they're passing on the right
gotta do my best to make it home tonight
