about

I wrote this while sitting on a beat up old green truck in Oliver BC.

lyrics

Got the beat up old green truck blues
Bruised up legs and callused hands
Workin' my way to heaven
I'll be working til the day that I die
I wouldn't, have it, any other way oh my.

Workin my way to heaven
Got no boss givin' me direction
Won't let nobody, tell me what to do
Workin on whatever I choose

Got the beat up old green truck blues
Sun getting cut by the mountaintop
Been workin' all day in the shop
I'll be workin' til past midnight
I wouldn't ever want to have it, any other way oh my.

Some nights I dream
'bout-things I could be doin better
Then before first daylight
I'm up and out and goin to get her
Immerse yourself in something
and you'll go a little crazy
In order to take that first step,
already gotta be a little crazy

Got the beat up old green truck blues
Been used so much still got a solid frame
It's a miracle she even runs
After all that we been through
Still watchin' landscapes roll by
And I wouldn't ever want to have it, any other way oh my.

Workin my way to heaven
Got no boss givin' me direction
Won't let nobody, tell me what to do
Workin on whatever I choose
