18 Wheels

Driving rain 40 miles out of Michigan Spiderweb headlights Shut me down I knocked on the door I rang the bell The sign said vacancy There was no-one around 18 wheels up against the wall 56 tons, grain alcohol Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong But my will is gone My will is gone My will is gone Lightning flashing Standing in a phone booth I called her number I got a machine I heard her voice I heard the tone I tried to speak I couldn't say anything 18 wheels up against the wall 56 tons, grain alcohol Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong But my will is gone My will is gone My will is gone Blinding snow Sioux City Iowa It dawned on me She was gone to stay I jammed the brakes I swung it around Now I'm headin' back But it's way too late 18 wheels up against the wall 56 tons, grain alcohol Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong But my will is gone My will is gone My will is gone
