Big Rig
Longing for the Open Road: A Big Rig's Journey Home
Lyrics
If I was a road dog, baby
If I were a constant traveler or wanderer
All of my songs were true
All of my songs would reflect reality
Reckon' I'd like my whiskey drinkin'
I would probably enjoy drinking whiskey
a whole lot more than I do
More than I currently do
But I don't know about the good life, baby
Uncertain about the ideal life
Not so sure it's for me
Not entirely convinced it's the right path for me
I'd much rather be home rollin' with you
Prefer being at home with a significant other
Than watching Tom Snyder on TV
Rather than watching a television show
I wish I was a big rig
Expressing a desire to be a large truck
Rollin on home to you
Driving back home to a loved one
I wish I was a big rig
Reiterating the wish to be a big rig
Big rig baby, rollin' on home to you
A large truck, heading home to someone special
Now I been to lots of parties
Having attended numerous social gatherings
Spent my whole life in a bar
Lived a life spent mostly in bars
There's a whole lot of good lookin' women out there
Being perceived as a celebrity by attractive women
Who think I am a star
Women who believe the singer is a star
Drinkin' and a smokin' ain't really where I am
Indicating that partying and drinking aren't fulfilling
If I had my own two ways I'd be rollin' home to Alabam
Expressing a desire to return home to Alabama
I wish I was a big rig
Reiterating the desire to be a big rig
Rollin' on home to you
Driving home, emphasizing the yearning for return
I wish I was a big rig
Stating the wish again to be a big rig
A big rig baby, rollin' on home to you
As a large truck, returning home to a loved one
Now some day I'll be better
Anticipating a future improvement
My ramblin' days will be through
The days of wandering and rambling will end
I won't have anymore gigs to play
No more performances or shows to attend
I'll be back home there with you
Being back home with a significant other
But meanwhile wait a minute
But in the meantime, a moment of pause
What's that thing I see
Spotting something intriguing
It's a good lookin' woman with a bottle of Scotch
A beautiful woman with a bottle of Scotch
And she wants to go home with me
Expressing interest in going home together
She's lookin' like a big rig
Comparing the woman to a big rig
Rollin' on home to you
Heading home, drawing parallels to a truck
I wish I was big rig, a big rig baby
Reiterating the desire to be a big rig
Rollin' on home to you
A large truck, rolling back home to a loved one
I wish I was a big rig
Expressing the wish once again to be a big rig
Rollin' on home to you
Desiring to roll back home like a big rig
I wish I was a big rig
Repeating the wish to be a big rig
Rollin' on home to you
Continuing the theme of returning home like a big rig
