Beth's Story

This I wrote as a joke for a friend, she had been singing
the trucker wife blues for a few days........

All ready married for a hundred years
A middle aged man had to try the gears
Best thing he'd done
Since he gave up the beers

She said good bye with a tear
Missing him was a fear
Now she hates to hear
I'm coming home dear

A broken record
That continues to play
He moans and groans
Just on and on

The king has arrived
So drop what your doing
Why can't he just stay gone
And leave her the heck alone
