There Ain’t No Easy Runs versuri

Versuri Del Reeves – There Ain't No Easy Runs lyrics

I was sittin’ in the terminal, waitin’ for my load
When a greenhorn driver came in off the road
Heard him tell that foreman, Get my little pink slip
This run is too tough and I’m gonna quit

Now the foreman that day happened to be ol’ Joe
And, man, he was older than time
He said, Son, how long you been drivin’ this rig?
I drove all the shapes, forms, fashions, and kinds
Here you are worried about this one little trip
Why, I drive a million miles and then some
He looked that greenhorn right straight in the eye, and he said
Boy, there ain’t no еasy run

I drove for Roadway, Interstate, Boutwеll, Great Lakes
Overnight, Time, Mayflower, and Freightlines
Spector, Yellow Transit, Western, Gillette
Red Ball, Ryder, North Western, Big CF
Beaver, Bell, Hoover, and McLane’s
Gateway, Motor Freight, Transport, and Viking’s
Dixie, Ohio, Trans-America, and some
Eastex, Mason Dixon, Watkins, and Transcon
Wilson Associates, got all that drivin’ done
And I’ll tell you boy, there ain’t no easy run

If you got a gal in Texas, they’ll send you up to Maine
And if you got a gal in New York, they’ll send you out in the Plains
I know what your problem is, you got woman problems, son
But like I said, there ain’t no easy run

I drove for Navajo, Brady, Bruce, DC
North American, Allied, Chicago Motor Freight and Pie
Beemac, Curtis, Eastern, and MX
Garrett, Ace, Federal, and BM GMF [?]
Neptune, Harrod, Briggs, and Sealand
Dudley, Dorsey, Bynes[?], and Cunningham
Cooper, McRory, Jones, and American too
Acme, Central, Standard, Voss, and Sioux
United, Buckingham, got all that drivin’ done
And I’ll tell you boy, there ain’t no easy run

Oh, I’ve been backwards, forwards, uphill, downhill
Chills and spills and drills and pills
How about Atlas? Blow it one time for Kramer
Alabama, yes, Long and Harris, General
How about Strickland? Blow it one time again for me …
