Trip From Hell (pt1)

I drove from I-95 over to I-90/94

Yes you can say I put the metal to the floor

 

Drove all day and into the night

Guess I was going to fast now smokey is in sight

 

He stopped me and laid on me one hefty fine

He said slow down and be safe wow! he was kind

 

Went back to the driver seat to color in my log

Rolling down the highway pretending to be a big dog

 

Have a hot hot load and no time to spare

Running my face on the CB acting like i have something to share

 

All ready 3200 miles into this trip

Just hoping and praying that I just don't quit

 

Oh lord the chicken coop is open and pulling me around back

Lucky me Mr. DOT man letting me know I have a missing stack

 

Shut down of course till the repair guy fixes my truck

Have to call the company now just to pass a buck

 

Down too many hours wore out and beat

What can go wrong? have a broken air-ride seat

 

No border patrol or radio stations here in Montana

Have only one Cd why on earth did it have to be Santana?

 

Jamming to the only tunes, my truck doing all bit of 68

Driving illeagle to get there and cant remember the last time I ate

 

I'm in desparate need of real hot shower but I'm almost at the receiver

Stopping in to get some fuel, Just my luck got bit by a golden retriever

 

This has been a trip from hell no doubt about that

What else can go wrong? what that sound to notice I have a flat

 

I'll limp the rest of the way have 10 mins. to get check in

After I get unloaded and the tired fixed I"ll do it all over again.
