I got the piggyback blues what's a feller could do
When the cab of a truck's been his home
I got the piggyback I gotta change my ways
Cause the long old hauls are gone
Well the boss called us in about a month ago
Said fellows the long hauls are through
Take your trailer to the railroad yard
There's a flat car waitin' for you
There's a flat car a waitin' for you
I'd like to see Mary in Abilene and Susie in Omaha
I'd like to see Jeannie in Albequerk' and Betty in Wichita
And Betty in Wichita
I got the piggyback blues...
[ guitar ]
Well these piggyback cars are gonna change my life
I'll have to start to slippin' around
I'll have to get the kitch that I miss so much
In the places on the outskirts of town
Yeah the places on the outskirts of town
I got the piggyback blues...
