Lyrics

Twenty-one days, not a wink of sleep

Got a belly full of pills and a bottle of heat

Sleep makes you old and on the road

Truckin' is a young man's trade

Pinhead pencil-pushing loud-mouthed geek

Cut me off at mile-marker thirty-three

I made him pay for the move he made

With his Pinto and a fiery grave

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

Cuttin' you down to size

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

Can't run away this time

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

I'm gonna put the hammer down

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

Fate was on the dashboard looking right at me now

Big rig rollin' through a foggy night

The bile in my stomach don't taste quite right

Three men in a Mercedes Benz

Got wrapped around a telephone pole

Don't know my twenty and my eyelids shut

I've fallen down and I can't get up

Driving blind, but just in time

To lay to rest your weary soul

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

Cuttin' you down to size

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

Can't run away this time

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

I'm gonna put the hammer down

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

Fate was on the dashboard looking right at me now

I've been hauled, mauled, run to the side

I've got the pedal to the metal and I ain't satisfied

I tarped my load but the open road

Slipped a wrench in the dispatch skull

As I raise the tire-tool above my head

Come crashing through the desert in a flash of red

I've pain in my foot, there's knots in my gut

It's time to pay the human toll

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

Cuttin' you down to size

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

Can't run away this time

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

I'm gonna put the hammer down

Eighteen wheels and a crowbar

Fate was on the dashboard looking right at me now

Murder!
