lyrics

I wash my face in a truckstop bathroom
brush my teeth, I comb back my hair
I wash my face in a truckstop bathroom
I’m gonna find a good job around here

I can drive a truck, swing a sledge hammer
I can mix a drink and I know a joke or two
I can drive a truck, swing a sledge hammer
I got two good hands, I’m gonna put ‘em to use

When I find work I will send for you
I’m beating all the bushes, overturning every stone
When I find work I will send for you
For you and your daughter I’m gonna build a home

So I wash my face in a truckstop bathroom
Brush my teeth, I comb back my hair
I wash my face in a truckstop bathroom
I’m gonna find a good job around here
