Tombstone Every Mile

All you big and burly men who roll the trucks along

Listen, you'll be thankful when you hear my song

You've really got it made if you're haulin' goods

Anyplace on Earth except those Haynesville woods

It's a stretch of road up north in Maine

That's never, ever, ever seen a smile

If they buried all the truckers lost in them woods

There'd be a tombstone every mile

When you're loaded with potatoes and you're drivin' down

You've gotta drive that road to get to Boston town

When it's winter up in Maine, better think it over twice

That Haynesville road is just a ribbon of ice

It's a stretch of road up north in Maine

That's never, ever, ever seen a smile

When they buried all the truckers lost in them woods

There'd be a tombstone every mile

When you're talkin' to a trucker that's been haulin' goods

Along that stretch of road they call the Haynesville woods

He'll tell you that dyin' and goin' down below

Is not as bad as drivin' on that road of ice and snow

It's a stretch of road up north in Maine

That's never, ever, ever seen a smile

If they buried all the truckers lost in them woods

There'd be a tombstone every mile

There'd be a tombstone every mile
