Testo Highway Man - Red Simpson
Testo della canzone Highway Man (Red Simpson), tratta dall'album Roll, Truck, Roll
Well, I drove this Jimmy Diesel from Mojave
Up to the summit of Cajon
Then I headed down the hill to San Bernardino
I was pushed by twenty tons of rock and stone
Well, the warning buzzer sounded, I was low on air
I checked the pressure gauges, no pressure there
I looked at the deep and rocky canyon down below
I said, "Man, what a way to go"
I saw a red light in my side-view mirror
I knew there was a highwayman behind
Well, I tried to shift her down one time, but missed it
And she really started to unwind
Well, that patrolman passed me like I was a-sittin' still
His sirens started screamin' as he went on down that hill
That highwayman, he had a crazy notion, I could see
He was gonna try to clear the road for me
I read a sign, "Trucks twenty miles an hour"
I watched the hand go 'round and hit the pavement
That patrol car was a-burnin' up the highway
And I was right there on his license tag
Well, I started once to ditch, but then I lost my nerve
I sideswiped a bobtail as I straightened up the curve
I opened up my eyes and I was back on level ground
But it took five more miles to shut her down
That highwayman walked up and put his hand out
And I reached out and shook it like a man
Well, he shook me loose and said, "Let's see your license"
Yeah, and don't get wise with me, I'll run you in
"Now, where's your registration? Who owns that machine?"
He wrote me up a ticket longer than a witch's dream
Well, there's a lot of things in this
Old world that I don't understand
Yeah, and one of them's a doggone highwayman
Yeah, and one of them's a doggone highwayman
