A Tombstone Every Mile

All you big and burley men who roll the trucks along

Better listen, you'll be thankful when you hear my song

You have really got it made if you're haulin' goods

Anyplace on earth but those Haynesville Woods

It's a stretch of road up north in Maine

That's never ever, ever seen a smile

If they buried all the truckers lost in them woods

There'd be a tombstone every mile

Count 'em off, there'd be a tombstone every mile

When you're loaded with potatoes and you're headed down

You've gotta drive the woods to get to Boston town

When it's winter up in Maine, better check it over twice

That Haynesville road is just a ribbon of ice

It's a stretch of road up north in Maine

That's never ever, ever seen a smile

If they buried all the truckers lost in them woods

There'd be a tombstone every mile

Count 'em off, there'd be a tombstone every mile

When you're talkin' to a trucker that's been haulin' goods

Down that stretch of road in Maine they call the Haynesville Woods

He'll tell you that dyin' and goin' down below

Won't be half as bad as drivin' on that road of ice and snow

It's a stretch of road up north in Maine

That's never ever, ever seen a smile

If they buried all the truckers lost in them woods

There'd be a tombstone every mile

Count 'em off, there'd be a tombstone every mile
