18 Wheels

Driving rain
 40 miles out of Michigan
 Spiderweb headlights
 Shut me down
 I knocked on the door
 I rang the bell
 The sign said vacancy
 There was no-one around
 18 wheels up against the wall
 56 tons, grain alcohol
 Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
 But my will is gone
 My will is gone
 My will is gone
 Lightning flashing
 Standing in a phone booth
 I called her number
 I got a machine
 I heard her voice
 I heard the tone
 I tried to speak
 I couldn't say anything
 18 wheels up against the wall
 56 tons, grain alcohol
 Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
 But my will is gone
 My will is gone
 My will is gone
 Blinding snow
 Sioux City Iowa
 It dawned on me
 She was gone to stay
 I jammed the brakes
 I swung it around
 Now I'm headin' back
 But it's way too late
 18 wheels up against the wall
 56 tons, grain alcohol
 Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
 But my will is gone
 My will is gone
 My will is gone
