Somebody Stole My Rig

I'm haulin' twenty tons of freight into New York state Started thinkin' bout Mary Jane She lived over the hill I had an hour to kill I thought I'd get in out of the rain Oh my she looked so fine had a bottle of wine I'd have myself a little bitty swig Then I heard wheels on the cinders and I ran to the windows And somebody stole my rig Oh oh oh somebody stole my rig somebody stole my rig Heard wheels on the cinders and I ran to the windows And somebody stole my rig And when I called up the cops told 'em I tried to stop 'em And nobody answered the phone And so I called up my honey told her send me bus money She said don't bother comin' home And so I called the boss and said the load was lost I thought he's gonna flip his wig Yeah a moment quick enjoyment now I'm back on unemployment Cause somebody stole my rig Oh somebody stole my rig somebody stole my rig Hey a moment quick enjoyment now I'm back on unemployment Cause somebody stole my rig But if I ever get a job behind the wheel again I'm never gonna fool around I'll keep an eye on the road and an eye on the load I'll never even slow it down And I'll stay concerned with the lesson I learned I bet it's gonna change my luck And I'll never leave a truck to go visit no girl I'm gonna bring the girls to the truck Oh somebody stole my rig somebody stole my rig Moment quick enjoyment now I'm back on unemployment Cause somebody stole my rig Yeah wheels on the cinders and I ran to the windows And somebody stole my rig (Yeah I tell ya my blackbook was in the glove compartment That's what really bugs me uh huh I I din't mind walkin' or losin' my job or anythin' Somebody stole my rig I mean they could have borrowed it and ask me before...)
