ROADMASTER'S TRANSPORT CO. by Jeff Callaway

ROADMASTER’S TRANSPORT CO.

his handle is Dizzy Dean
and he’s a trucker on meth-amphetamine
and he’s so far gone, he’s gone for four days
with no sleep
he’s like a rolling stone (gathering no moss)
all the way from New York City
(he don’t get lost) with 400 more miles
until he reaches Texas City
he says it’s all about hard work and clean livin’
into the CB
to Uncle Buck and The Big Trucks
who just says copy that
and that’s a big 10-4 good buddy
and dam that lot lizard was pretty
and over and out
and it’s another long black night
in the big-rig
for Old Dizzy Dean
and he’s all juked-up
on that high-speed chicken feed
and he never thought he would ever be
addicted to that meth-amphetamine
or mesmerized by the yellow stripe
like his front window is a TV screen
or some psychobilly plasma screen
as his radio it just beams
that song American Pie by Don McLean
but asleep at the wheel
it’s not how Dizzy Dean needs to be
because he’s got his three kids mouths to feed
and the wife of his dreams
is at home, asleep in Caney City
her name is Norma Gene
and she’s real pretty
so he just picked up the habit
and he never let Norma Gene know
that he’s tweakin', haulin' loads of livestock
