[Verse 1] Eighteen wheeler, backroad dealer Hundred different ways to ride If you'da seen what I seen, done what I done You'd be lookin' for a place to hide Even if I had a shiny silver dollar Every time I missed the promised land I'd still be two bucks shy at the back of the line 'Cause they ain't never gonna let me in
