10 Day Run

This tank is almost empty and this is my last load

I'm counting down the minutes

Till I get to go back home

It's been 10 long days of working

While she sits at home all alone

I got seven days to love her

And these 18 wheels are burning up the road

The stars are bright above me

And I'm howling at the moon

Babe I hope to be there by tomorrow afternoon

I know that you hate waiting

But this truck is doing all it can do

And with any luck, tomorrow

I'll be spending supper time with you

It's been 10 days on the road

I'm trying to get back home

My baby's sitting on the couch blowing up my phone

I know that she ain't happy

I'm pretty sure she's lit

I don't know how much longer she'll be putting up with this

So I better get back home, just as fast as I can

Before she up and leaves me for some wealthy businessman

I pull up the driveway

I'm ready for a fight

The lawn is covered in old blue jeans

And half smoked Marlboro lights

I guess she's finally had it

She's taken all she can

It's just a broken story

Of a long haul trucking man

It's hard to please a woman

Who could never please her man

She's taken me for granted

Lord please help me understand

It was 10 days on the road

Before I got back home

She set fire to the couch, along with most my clothes

I knew that she was crazy

But who expected this

Everything was torn apart, soakin’ wet and singed

I didn't make it home, before it all went up in flames

So I put my truck back into gear and I just drove away

Good riddance woman

Don't ya come back around here no more

Ya hear
