When I was just a little bitty kid, I remember one time Mama said
Daddy sends you all his love from Frisco Bay
I didn’t understand till I was grown
why my Daddy didn’t spend a little time at home
Instead of runnin’ around the country that way

Oh, I’m looking at the world through a windshield
And I see everything in a little bit different light
I got a sweet little thing I’m wantin’ to see in Nashville
And I’m down around Dallas and a’rollin’ on South tonight

Long strips of rubber that you see
Were burned off of this rig by the likes of me
And they’ll rot along the highways in this land
I’m gonna sign my name in this diesel smoke
And let the ones that come along behind me choke
And try to beat this pace I’m setting any time they can

Now I’m looking at the world through a windshield
Watchin’ it fly by me on the right
I got a sweet little thing I’m wantin’ to see in Nashville
And I’m down around Dallas and rollin’ on South tonight

I’ve pushed this rig through sleet and rain
And I’ve driven through the rough terrain
Of the Rockies to the docks of old L.A.
On down that old Pacific shore, I swing north and run for Baltimore
Or somewhere ’bout two thousand miles away

Now I’m looking at the world through a windshield
Watchin’ it a flyin’ by me on the right
I got a sweet little thing I’m dyin’ to see in Nashville
And I’m down around Dallas and rollin’ on South tonight
