______________________________________________

There's blue skies where I'm going
up there on that Thunder Road,
You can see those big stacks smokin'
as they pull that heavy load.
Won't have to worry about weigh stations
as I roll across the sky . . .
Won't have to watch for Mr. Smokey,
and I'm a gonna let 'er fly!
Got a load to get to Heaven --
dispatch didn't give me any time
Got to be there before nightfall,
so I'm a gonna let 'er climb . . .
Climb up on those big white sun clouds,
up there on that Thunder Road
Got to make some time up
with this mighty heavy load . . .

~♥~

My truck and I pull together,
we work as if we are just one,
She's been a good companion
and now we're on our final run.
It seems as if we've covered
every highway on the ground,
But now we're rollin' steady
'cause we know we're homeward bound.
In the years we've rolled together,
this truck and I have seen it all,
We've run with some real good people,
and I smile as I recall
The hard times and the fussin'
and the good times on the road,
The camaraderie as we ran together
thru the night and hauled our loads.
Truckers always pull together
when they find some common ground,
And when you're lookin' for good people,
there's none finer to be found.

~♥~

But this time I'm rollin' solo,
just me and my trusty truck,
We've got to get a goin',
so goodbye . . . and lots of luck!
I'm rollin' up to Heaven,
up there on that Thunder Road,
They said they're waitin' for me
and this very special load.
They said to check in with the angel
at the guard shack of Heaven's Gate,
I guess they need another trucker
to haul some of that holy freight!
So the next time you see the lightening
and you hear that thunder roar,
Don't you worry about the storm clouds . . .
It'll be the diesel hummin'
as we welcome home one more!
