Well, when I was just a little bitty kid
I remember one time Mama said
"Daddy sends you all his love from Frisco Bay"
I never understood 'til I was grown
Why my daddy didn't spend a little time at home
Instead of runnin' 'round the country that way
Whoa, I'm lookin' at the world through a windshield
Seein' everything in a little bit different light
I got a sweet little thing that I'm a-dyin' to see in Nashville
And I'm down around Dallas and I'm rollin' south tonight
Long strips of rubber that you see
Are burned off this rig by the likes of me
They'll ride along the highways in this land
I'm gonna sign my name in that diesel smoke
And let the ones that come along behind me choke
Try to keep this pace I'm a-settin' anytime that they can
Whoa, I'm lookin' at the world through a windshield
Watchin' it fly by me on the right
I got a sweet little thing that I'm a-dyin' to see in Nashville
And I'm down around Dallas and I'm rollin' south tonight
I've pushed this rig through the fog and rain
And I've driven through the rough terrain
Of the Rockies to the docks of old L.A
Way on down that Pacific shore
I swing north and head for Baltimore
Some place about two thousand miles away
Whoa, I'm lookin' at the world through a windshield
Watchin' it fly by me on the right
I got a sweet little thing that I'm a-dyin' to see in Nashville
And I'm down around Dallas and I'm rollin' south tonight
I said I'm down around Dallas and I'm rollin' south tonight
