Testi

[Verse 1]

I was out on the west coast tryin' to make a buck

And things didn't work out, I was down on my luck

Got tired of roamin' and bummin' around

So I started thumbin' back east, toward my home town

[Verse 2]

Made a lot of miles the first two days

And I figured I'd be home in a week

If my luck held out this way

But the third night I got stranded way out of town

At a cold, lonely crossroads, rain was pourin' down

[Verse 3]

I was hungry and freezin', done caught a chill

When the lights of a big semi topped the hill

Lord, I sure was glad to hear them air brakes come on

And I climbed in that cab where I knew it'd be warm

[Verse 4]

At the wheel sat a big man, he weighed about two ten

He stuck out his hand, and said with a grin

"Big Joe's the name", I told him mine

And he said "The name of my rig is Phantom 309"

[Verse 5]

I asked him why he called his rig such a name

He said "Son, this old Mack can put 'em all to shame"

"There ain't a driver, or a rig a-runnin' any line

That's seen nothin' but taillights from Phantom 309"

[Verse 6]

Well, we rode and talked the better part of the night

When the lights of a truck stop came in sight

He said "I'm sorry, son, this is far as you go

'Cause I gotta make a turn just on up the road"

[Verse 7]

Well, he tossed me a dime as he pulled her in low

And said "Have yourself a hot cup on old Big Joe"

When Joe and his rig roared out in the night

In nothin' flat, he was clean out of sight

[Verse 8]

Well, I went inside and ordered me a cup

Told the waiter "Big Joe was settin' me up"

Aw, you could have heard a pin drop, it got deathly quiet

And the waiters face turned kind of white

[Verse 9]

"Well, did I say somethin' wrong?" I said with a halfway grin

He said "Naw, this happens every now and then

Every driver in here knows Big Joe

But son, let me tell you what happened about ten years ago"

[Verse 10]

"At the crossroads tonight, where you flagged him down

There was a bus load of kids a-comin' from town

And they were right in the middle when Big Joe topped the hill

It could have been slaughter, but he turned his wheels"

[Verse 11]

"Well, Joe lost control, went into a skid

And gave his life to save that bunch of kids

And there at that crossroads was the end of the line

For Big Joe and Phantom 309"

[Verse 12]

"But every now and then, some hiker will come by

And like you, Big Joe will give 'em a ride

Here, have another cup and forget about the dime

Keep it as a souvenir from Big Joe and Phantom 309"
