18 Wheels of Love

Mama ran off with a trucker Mama ran off with a trucker Mama ran off with a trucker Peterbilt Peterbilt He is making her give life another stab They can see the world from way up in the cab Mama ran off with a trucker........... Peterbilt Peterbilt She can quit her job and be his little bride He can get a local route and stay home by her side She can fix him roast beast and sweet potato pie He can eat a lot of it cuz he's a big ole guy They got married in Dollywood (by a Porter Waggoner lookalike) 18 Wheels of Love
