The Mystery Of Life Lyrics

[00:09.89] Peterbilt drivers don't pick up low riders
[00:14.51] They don't slow for the curves in the road
[00:18.67] They hate to keep logs, they hate riders on hogs
[00:23.50] Watch out for a shift in your load
[00:28.85] When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns
[00:32.84] But I never had a Lionel train
[00:37.25] Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up
[00:42.47] And it weighs thirty tons in the rain
[00:46.97] I wear Frisco jeans with riveted seams
[00:51.54] My money is chained to my belt
[00:56.07] I wear a Cat cap just like my pap
[01:01.47] He drove till it ruined his health
[01:04.88] Now, Georgia Bill Smith wore thick glasses and boots
[01:10.43] He could see 'bout as far as he could walk
[01:14.53] He came up too fast on that bridge overpass
[01:19.18] Lord, the preacher sure gave a fine talk
[01:24.56] When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns
[01:28.72] But I never had a Lionel train
[01:33.27] Now I've got a truck if I keep payments up
[01:38.72] And it weighs thirty tons in the rain
[01:42.18]
[02:02.46] I've read a few lines from the poets
[02:06.61] And sometimes, I might cross the line
[02:11.87] I don't know the answer to the mystery of life
[02:16.23] But a woman sure helps pass the time
[02:20.77] When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns
[02:26.16] But I never had a Lionel train
[02:29.81] Now I've got a truck if I keep payments up
[02:35.29] And it weighs thirty tons in the rain
[02:39.73] When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns
[02:45.12] But I never had a Lionel train
[02:50.07] Now I've got a truck if I keep payments up
[02:54.12] And it weighs thirty tons in the rain
[02:58.63]
