Detained Again

Rolled in early, clock still green

Dock man's nowhere to be seen

Paper says I'm due at two

Now it's four and I ain't moved

Detained again, wastin' my deadhead miles

Clock's tickin' but their dock's got smiles

Detained again, and the load don't pay

But the boss says"Son, that's the way it stays"

Coffee's cold, my patience thin

Sendin' messages they'll never send

Every hour's just another cost

In this game, the driver's lost

Detained again, wastin' my deadhead miles

Clock's tickin' but their dock's got smiles

Detained again, and the load don't pay

But the boss says"Son, that's the way it stays"

Every minute I'm sittin' here still

Is another notch on the company's bill

But that money don't trickle down my way

I just burn daylight for free all day

Detained again, wastin' my deadhead miles

Clock's tickin' but their dock's got smiles

Detained again, and the load don't pay

But the boss says"Son, that's the way it stays"
