The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was sittin' in the terminal waitin' for my load

When a greenhorn driver came in off of the road

I heard him tell that foreman get my little pink slip

This run's too tough and I'm gonna quit

Now the foreman that day happened to be old Joe man he was older than time

He said son how long you been drivin' this rig

You know I drove all shapes forms fashions and kinds

Here you are worried about this one little trip

Why I drove a million miles and then some

He looked that greenhorn right in the eye and he said

"Boy there ain't no easy run"

I drove for Roadway, Interstate, Hopewell, Great Lakes

Overnight and Time, Mayflower and Freight Line

Specter, Yellow Transit, Western, and Gillete

Redball, Rider Northwestern, Big CF

Beaver & Bell, Hoover & McLeans

Gateway Motor Freight , Transport, Vikings

Dixie, Ohio, & Trans American Some

East Texas, Mason Dixon ,Watkin and Transcon

Wilson Associate got all that drivin' done

And I'll tell you boy there ain't no easy runs

Now if you got a gal in Texas they'll send you up to Maine

If you got a gal in New York they'll send you out to the plains

I know what your problem is you got woman trouble son

Well like I said there ain't no easy run

I drove for Navajo, Brady, Goose, DC

North American, Allied, Chicago Motor Freight & Pie

Bee Mac & Curtis, Eastern and NX

Garrett & Ace, Federal & ETM

And Neptune Hereon, Brinks and Sea Lab

Dudley, Dorsey Bekins and Cunningham

Cooper, Mc Roary, Jones & American too

Acme and Central & Standard and Boston Sue

And Yunhan and Buckingham got all that drivin' done

And I'll tell you boy there ain't no easy run

I went backward forwards uphill downhill chills spills thrills and pills...

And how about Atlas & Cramer

Alabama, Hiway Express, Murphy Line

And Long, and Harris, General Stickland, Eden & Key

How about that Nashville by-pass on a Friday afternoon

That'll blow yer shorts off

That's sumpin else

Then there's, Atlanta, Daily, McCrae, Wheeling, Rockwell, Gilbert
