White Freight Liner Blues (Live 1995)

(This's a Townes Van Zandt song; a-one, two, mm)

I'm goin' out on the highway, listen to them big trucks whine

I'm goin' out on the highway, listen to them big trucks whine

White Freightliner, won't you steal away my mind?

Hey now, Mexico ain't bad, Lord, women there treat me kind

Hey now, Mexico ain't bad, Lord, women there treat me kind

White Freightliner, won't you steal away my mind?

Yeah now, bad news from Houston, half of my friends are dyin'

Just got some bad news from Houston, half of my friends are dyin'

White Freightliner, won't you steal away my mind?

(Skiffle beat)

Hey-la Lord, I'm gonna ramble till I get back from where I came

Hey Lord, I'm gonna ramble till I get back from where I came

Let that ol' White Freightliner haul away my brain

I'm goin' out on the highway, listen to them big trucks whine

I'm goin' out on the highway, listen to them big trucks whine

White Freightliner, won't you steal away my mind?

I said, white Freightliner, won't you steal away my mind?
