Hard Rain Coming Down
This storm blew up from out of nowhere now its raining with a vengence
Tonight West Texas might get washed away
Its nights like these that get me thinking whyd I wanna be a trucker
When I ask myself I aint got much to say .. and
Its a quarter past eleven eighty miles from Amarillo
And Im wondering if a Peterbilt can drown
I can barely see the white lines thank God there aint much traffic
Just me and this old truck and a hard rain coming down
My windshield wipers keep on trying it looks like a losing battle
I know theres a truckstop up ahead
Ill grab a cup and wait the storm out Lord knows it cant rain forever
Thats what I tell myself but I aint taking bets
Its a West Texas morning that old Texas sun is shining
The storm is nothing but a memory
Back on the highway…Twin stacks a smokin
And eighteen wheels a rollin …rolling to the one who waits for me
At a quarter past seven I pulled out of Amarillo
Eastbound and I let the hammer down
Started counting all the white lines seems the road goes on forever
Just me and this old truck and the rain starts coming down
Its a quarter past eleven in Atoka, Oklahoma
When this old Peterbilt pulls into my hometown
Shes standing in the doorway, theres nothing more to ask for
Just me and the one I love and a hard rain coming down
