Dark Roads

Today was my country western day and this was another of the songs I thought up as I was sitting here looking at my RB community post!
Hope you enjoy its not about me! Just a fun song!

I am headed on a long dark road I got 18 wheels and a heavy load pushing through this black night.
I got headlights coming at me and I got headlights in the back of me and I got red lights blinding me all night long.
I am sitting in this cramped cab with my partner fast asleep as I listen to this Cowboy sing this sad song.
I been trying to get my partner to drive I been behind this wheel for the last 9 hours and I need to catch a little sleep myself tonight
I left my baby back in Georgia with tears running down her face from all the nasty things I said to her last night.
I been thinking about all the things I said to her, and all the hurtful things I knew I shouldn’t do.
Its like soon as I opened my mouth they just jumped right out at her.
And now I am sitting here crying the midnight trucker blues!
Baby I know you ain‘t all them things I said you are.
I know you didn’t mean to hit me that hard.
And baby when I said you was just poor trash I didn’t mean all that, them words just jumped right out my mouth an slapped you in the face.
It broke my heart to say them ugly words today I wanted to stop but its like they had a mind of their very own.
And I went ahead and said them anyway and I know I broke your heart with my stupid words.
But what can I say when I know your hearts been broken an its me who turned the knife what can I do!
You know baby this ain’t the first time.
I done this time and time and time again.
I am telling ya this and I sure don’t want to baby but what you ought to do is just get up and walk on out the door.
Baby I am so sorry that I lied and I failed you… one more time again.
I ain’t bad I am just a man who speaks before thinking like my daddy did.
I am a man who’s lived a rough and tumble life.
I am man who’s learned all that I am from my daddy, and honey what can I say baby what he taught me was real bad.
So baby what you ought to do is walk on out that door.
Pack your bags and call your friends to pick you up.
I know we gonna have this fight again I am too dumb to change my ways.
But baby I don’t mean to say all them hurtful things!
So as I sit here in this cab and the darkness passes me by I think about all them times I failed you over and over again.
I know you said you would be gone when I got back.
You was gonna go and live with your sister Pat.
And that as soon as you got on your feet you was gonna pack and leave the state.
And I wasn’t gonna find you ever again.
So baby as I watch the next state pass me by and my partner seems to need more sleep than I.
I got all this time to see my evil ways and baby I made a big mistake today and I hope that your gone when I get back!
18 wheels from one state to the next thinking of you as I hear my partner snore.
And baby all of this long haul is making me suffer more this time, cus baby I know I said some hurtful things today.
I pull in to the next roadside dinner hoping I can make a quick call.
Every time I dial your number the telephone gives me a busy number I guess you ain’t up and left home yet.
Now as I finally get through to ya, baby I want you to listen to me, I want you to pack your things and get away from me real fast!
And I promise I won’t come looking for you no more.
Cus I know I am only gonna hurt you once again.
You said this was the last time I was gonna be mean to you.
And this was the last time I was gonna say ugly things to ya!
And this was the last time you was gonna sit and cry over all the hurtful things that I said!
You said this was the last time you would ever raise you hand and have to hit a man that you said you loved!
And baby as I sit her in this cab I wanna cry, as I sit here in this lonely cab I wanna cry.
Oh baby I been mean and I been crude but I always did the best I could for us but I got a mean streak in me thats real bad.
I know deep down in my heart you need to run and get away from this hurtful man and find a new life with a better one who will treat ya right.
So as I hang up that telephone and I can still hear your tear drops falling baby.
I think this was the best thing I could do to finally say I love you and set you free.
Because I know that I am gonna hurt you again and baby I love you too much to see them tears run down your face.
But baby I just can’t stop being me!
Because baby I just cant stop being me!
