Sweet Melinda (Remastered)

Pulled out of Denton, Texas two days and nights ago I been living on pills and burgies, the whites of my eyes don't show The south bound headlights are making me blind, I'm too damn tired to blink My toes are numb and my brain's gone dumb, I can just barely think Lo de looou, sweet Melinda, my wife The lonesome moan of this eighteen-wheeler cuts through me like a knife Except for you, sweet Melinda, my wife, I been riding on empty most all of my life Two more hours till daylight, starting to rain again A sign up ahead says welcome to Paradise, Population Ten Me and this truck and that old white line stumbling on and on Like three old drinking buddies coming home at dawn Singing ooooo, sweet Melinda, my wife The lonesome moan of this eighteen-wheeler cuts through me like a knife Except for you, sweet Melinda, my wife, I been riding on empty most all of my life Except for you, sweet Melinda, my wife The lonesome moan of this eighteen-wheeler cuts through me like a knife Except for you, sweet Melinda, my wife, I been riding on empty most all of my life I been riding on empty most all of my life
