He talked about burnin' it up
In a loaded down truck
Haulin' 30 tons
Back in the day
All those years on the road
Gears shifted down low
18 wheels, fast, slow
Rolling away
Everything he's done
And everyone he loved
Well, some days he remembers
Some days he just don't
Some days you come knockin' and nobody's home
And you gotta just leave him alone
But the light comes on every once in a while
Like he was never gone, gives me a smile
And we pick up right where we left off
Those precious moments are getting fewer and further between
When he knows me
I've been a foe and a friend
And an old field hand
Handsome man that he met somewhere
That nobody knows
'Cause all he has is the past
And he keeps slipping back
Happy or sad, good, bad
It's a heavy load
Everything he's done
And everyone he loved
Some days he remembers
Some days he just don't
Some days you come knockin' and nobody's home
And you gotta just leave him alone
But the light comes on every once in a while
Like he was never gone, gives me a smile
And we pick up right where we left off
Those precious moments are getting fewer and further between
When he knows me
Some days he remembers
And some days he just don't
Some days you come knockin' and nobody's home
But the light comes on every once in a while
Like he was never gone, gives me a smile
And we pick up right where we left off
Those precious moments are getting fewer and further between
When he knows me
Yeah, he talked about burnin' it up
In a loaded down truck
Haulin' 30 tons
Back in the day
