Anderson, John - Tryin' To Make A Living On The Road Lyrics






Passed a little town about an hour ago
Somewhere in the desert in New Mexico
Thinkin' 'bout something that my baby said
I stop and get me something for my achin' head

Pull into a truck stop, parked by the car shop
Kill about an hour or so
Nearly died on the highway
Tryin' to make a livin' on the road

Pete raised up and added both my stacks
All precious steady and my coffee's black
Highway patrol and the D.O.T.
Not to even mention Pat's Y.N.C.

And go to L.A., turn around, come back to cowtown
Drop off another heavy load
I nearly died on the highway
Tryin' to make a livin' on the road

I don't need a roadmap I know my way
I've been driven this road both night and day
Ain't worried 'bout places I've seen or been
I just want to see my baby again

Well I'm tired but I can't stop, watch out for fallin' rocks
Speedzone ahead goes slow
I nearly died on the highway
Tryin' to make a livin' on the road
I nearly died on the highway
Tryin' to make a livin' on the road

    Great song. I had it on cassette back in the early 90's. Thanks for posting it.

    John was signed to Jimmy Bowen's MCA knock-off label Universal in 1988, after being with Bowen's MCA in 86-87. Bowen sold Universal to Capitol in early 1989, merging the rosters, thus this song was released under the Capitol banner.

    Its a shame that John tanked-out in the late '80s and didn't partake in the 1989 traditional revolution.
