Dave Dudley – Farewell To The Road

(Farewell to the road farewell to the road)

Well ol’ truck this is our farewell to the road I guess we’re both out of style

I could sell ye but I don’t need the money you sure don’t need the miles

That doctor says I gotta get off the road he tells me my eyes are sick

And they won’t let you run when you get too old that windshield gets too thick

We made many a run together ol’ truck sometimes when I had me no help

I think I slept right behind that wheel you just kept driving yourself

Hey we had some swingers ol’ timer like that gal from Tennessee

She rode with us pretty near six hundred miles ha that seat was warm for a week

Oh yeah I gave that radio on to Jim Smith you know that sure was a dandy thing

I’m gonna miss Ralph and Mike and Bill and all them boys

And hearin’ them country people sing

And everytime I shave I see that scar that I picked up in Abilene

That gal was about as pretty as a summer night

But that boy that was with her he was awful mean

Well ol’ timer I gotta be goin’ and I’ll drink to you down at the bar

You know it’s gonna take me a month or two to get used to drivin’ this car

Now this lot is yours as long as you want it and I’ll see you every two or three weeks

And maybe this just ain’t the proper thing to say but here’s hopin’ you rust in peace

(Farewell to the road farewell to the road)
