Drive-By Truckers - 18 Wheels Of Love Lyrics






Mama ran off with a trucker
Mama ran off with a trucker
Mama ran off with a trucker
Peterbilt Peterbilt

He is making her give life another stab
They can see the world from way up in the cab

Mama ran off with a trucker.....
Peterbilt Peterbilt

She can quit her job and be his little bride
He can get a local route and stay home by her side
She can fix him roast beast and sweet potato pie
He can eat a lot of it cuz he's a big ole guy

They got married in Dollywood

  46. R.... ....

    "with Chester behind the wheel!" damn when he said that tears welled up in my eyes

    R.... ....

    @rock3246 I think he honestly just realizes they would censor it, and chooses not to use that phrase. Habit is evident, but restraint is noticeably exercised. A great job. Beautiful song

    R.... ....

    Don't think so -- underrated, I mean. I saw them at the Beacon Theatre in New York more than two years ago, and it was a packed house of fans who never sat down.

    R.... ....

    ever time for me too...every damn time. Just love this version of this song.

    R.... ....

    Rocket I heard that! If anyone doesn’t get goosebumps on that one they need to see a doctor. They’re probably dead.

    R.... ....

    Saw DBT do this live 3 times every time I cried like a baby...

  47. N.... B....

    This is truly a awesome song!  For some reason I have the urge to put my tongue in that dimple on this left check?  Huh, odd.

    N.... B....

    😂 tempting huh.

  48. M.... W....

    This is why Southerners sound better when story tellin'

    #DBT

    M.... W....

    Melissa Wood Don't worry about losing your accent, because a Southern man tells better jokes
