Southbound 95 (R. McGuinn / C. McGuinn)


Well I'm rolling down the Interstate on southbound 95
Dodging little four wheelers and trying to stay alive
They be running in the hammer lane and driving real slow
And they always cut in front of you no matter where you go

They hit their breaks and slow you down and make you go around
And when you try to pass them, they stomp the peddle down
They never use their blinkers when they change into your lane
It's enough to make an over-the-road driver go insane

Drive 'em high drive 'em low
In the rain and in the snow

I drive a 1990 Peterbuilt just turned 1,000,000 miles
The engine's all mechanical a pre-computer style
I like that cause I can do all the work myself
And knowing that it's running right is better for your health

Smoky's taking pictures at the 22 yard line
But we heard it on the radio and slowed her down in time
Navigating through all the gators on the road
I'm getting 40 cents a mile for driving down this load

Well the chicken coop is open at the Georgia 55
They'll be checking weights and log books by the time that we arrive
I know this truck's loaded down with more than they allow
But I got to get her down this southbound highway anyhow

Got a Thermos full of coffee gonna make it all the way
Got to get this truck to Florida before the break of day
Someday I'm gonna go there just with my little girl
We're gonna see the sights and ride the rides at Walt Disney World
