cute ryhme ..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I’ve crossed many a bridges 
I’ve seen many a town
Now that long black ribbon beckons me 
To put the hammer down.

Sometimes I get real lonesome
And I don’t know what to do 
Long Black Ribbon Pardon me 
I’d like to talk to you 

Long black ribbon---here I am 
This is what I do 
I jam some gears and grind some teeth 
Then I roll all over you.. 

Was down shifting south of Dallas 
Pulled off to get some stew
When a blonde just in from Denver
Took my mind off you..

Had dinner at the café
I heard all about her life
But then I came back to you 
And drove off in the night ..

Long black ribbon---here I am 
This is what I do 
I jam some gears and grind some teeth 
Then I roll all over you.. 

Life sure has many pitfalls 
And I’m not one to talk 
My home  an eighteen wheeler
And I have no plans to walk

People hear me late at night
With twin stacks both a blaze
The engine begs for mercy
While my eyes are but a glaze

Long black ribbon---here I am 
This is what I do 
I jam some gears and grind some teeth 
Then I roll all over you


I listen to those trucking songs
I hear from town to town 
I’ve made friends with some of those
Who put the hammer down..

And we joke around the truck stops
As we talk about the road
But aint that the kind of place 
To have your story told 

Long black ribbon---here I am 
This is what I do 
I jam some gears and grind some teeth 
Then I roll all over you.. 

Graffiti on the overpass
The artist has come and gone 
As we wish away the miles 
Playing the same ole song

With bloodstains on the asphalt
Seems to be your tattoo
We close our eyes, and go to sleep 
As we keep dying over you.. 

TAG,( Long black ribbon---here I am 
This is what I do)
