E E A A
Peterbilt drivers don't pick up low riders
B B E E
They don't slow for the curves in the road
E E A A
They hate to keep logs, they hate riders on hogs
B B E E
Watch out for a shift in your load

E E A A
When I was young
I had Gene Autry guns
B B E E
But I never had a Lionel train

Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up
B B E E
And it weighs thirty tons in the rain
🤠 Verse 2:
E E A A
I wear Frisco jeans with riveted seams
B B E E
My money is chained to my belt
E E A A
I wear a Cat cap just like my pap
B B E E
He drove till it ruined his health
E E A A
Now
Georgia Bill Smith wore thick glasses and boots
B B E E
He could see about as far as he could walk
E E A A
He came up too fast on that bridge overpass
B B E E
Lord, the preacher sure gave a fine talk
🤠 Chorus:
E E A A
When I was young
I had Gene Autry guns
B B E E
But I never had a Lionel train
E E A A
Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up

And it weighs thirty tons in the rain

And sometimes
I might cross the line

I don't know the answer to the mystery of life
B B E E
But a woman sure helps pass the time
🤠 Chorus:
E E A A
When I was young
I had Gene Autry guns

I had Gene Autry guns

But I never had a Lionel train
E E A A
Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up
