Dick Curless - Tombstone Every Mile lyrics

All you big and barely men who roll the trucks along Better listen you'll be thankful when you hear my song You have really got it made if you're haulin' goods Anyplace on earth but those Hangsville Woods It's a stretch of road up north in Maine That's never ever ever seen a smile If they'd buried all them truckers lost in them woods There'd be a tombstone every mile Count 'em off there'd be a tombstone every mile [ guitar ] When you're loaded with potatoes and you're headed down You've got to drive the woods to get to Boston town When it's winter up in Maine better check it over twice That Hangsville road is just a ribbon of ice It's a stretch of road up north in Maine... [ piano ] When you're talking to a trucker that's been haulin' goods Down that stretch of road in Maine they call the Hangsville Woods He'll tell you that dying and going down below Won't be half as bad as driving on that road of ice and snow It's a stretch of road up north in Maine...
