| Let's see...three nominations, one for audacious lyrics, one for rock & roll, and one for country twang!
1) for sheer lyrics audacity... 18 wheels and a crowbar - by BR5-49
21 nights not a wink of sleep
Gotta belly full of pills & a bottle of heat
Sleep makes you old & on the road
Ya' know truckin' is a young mans trade
Pin head, pencil pushin loud mouthed geek
Cut me off at mile marker 33
I made him pay for the move he made
With his Pinto in a fiery grave....
18 wheels & a crowbar - be cuttin you down to size
18 wheels & a crowbar - cant run away this time
18 wheels & a crowbar - I'm gonna put the hammer down
18 wheels & a crowbar - Devil's on the dashboard
Lookin' right at me now
Big rig rollin' through a foggy night
The bile in my stomach don't feel quite right
Three men in a Mercedes Benz
Got wrapped around a telegraph pole
Don't know my 20 & my eyelids shut
I've fallen down & I can't get up
Drivin' blind, but just in time
To lay to rest a weary soul
I bin hauled, logged, run through the side
I got the pedal to the metal & I ain't satisfied
I torqued my load but the open road
Slipped a wrench into the dispatchers skull
As I raised a tire-tool above my head
Come crashin' through the desert in a flash of red
A pain in my butt, there's knots in my gut
It's time to pay the human toll
2) For great rock & roll Wind It Up! - ####### Sons of Johnny Cash (see my signature)
For country & western twang 3) Truckin' Man - by Dale Watson
If I was a truckin' man
I'd be a gear jammer with a one-armed tan
I'd spend my nights in the roadhouse
Days on the lost highway
Hey, if I was a truckin' man
I'd have my radio screamin' on the AM band
All night drivin' by dashboard lights
If I was a truckin' man
Now I can't let my life slip away
Pushin' these number two pencils everyday
This rat race don't fit into my plan, no ma'am
I'm dreamin', schemin', if I was a truckin' man
(Chorus)
If I was a truckin' man
I'd be a gear jammer with a one-armed tan
I'd spend my nights in the roadhouse
Days on the lost highway
Hey, if I was a truckin' man
I'd have my radio screamin' on the AM band
All night drivin' by dashboard lights
If I was a truckin' man
Well I'd sign my life away on the dotted white line
Drinkin' my coffee, smokin' my smokes all night
And if I get tired, I'll let Benny drive if he can
I'm dreamin', schemin', if I was a truckin' man
