about

A classic tale of an outlaw having to go on the run. There's another version of this tune on the album Trees, in case you are interested.

lyrics

Big Trucker


All I ever really wanted was a little bit of love
And a little bit of luck from the big guy up above
And an open road and a healthy foot
All I ever really wanted was to take a look
But they killed my buzz when they busted in
They stole my herbs and drank my gin
And they sent me running for that open road
All I ever really wanted was to be left alone

If I had another chance I'd be with you
But I didn't have a choice so honey we're through
If I had a bigger truck I'd get us out this rut
And we'd do another dance
If I had another chance

All I ever really wanted was a little bit of fun
And a little bit of laughter ad a little bit of sun
And and a little bit of music, and a little bit of wine
All I ever really wanted was a little piece of mind
But they sent me runnin for that open road
And I had to leave you back at home all alone
And I'll be wandering for the rest of my life
All I ever really wanted was to make you my wife

Chorus

Now everyone knows that a hen don't crow
That a horse don't talk and a pig don't sew
Now my own true life, it ain't no fairy tale
So I got's to go
Or I'll go to jail

Jam

Ten thousand miles, and fourty states
And all I've got here is the memory of your face
And it keeps me warm each and every night
While I'm dreamin that one day I'll hold you tight
But this open road, I'ts got me movin on
And I'm hopin that it won't be too long
Till we share our thoughts and we share our dreams
And there won't be all this space inbetween

Chorus
