Somebody Stole My Rig
Shel Silverstein
I'm haulin' 20 tons of freight
Into New York State
Started thinkin' about Mary Jane.
She lived over the hill
I had an hour to kill
I thought I'd get in out of the rain.
Oh my"¦
She looked so fine
Had a bottle of wine
I had myself a little bit of swig
Then I heard wheels on the cinders
And I run to the windows
And somebody stole my rig.
Oh, ohhh, oh"¦
Somebody stole my rig.
Somebody stole my rig.
Heard the wheels on the cinders
And I run to the windows.
Somebody stole my rig.
And when I"¦
Called up the cops
Told em try to stop em
Nobody answered the phone
And so I called up my honey
Told her to send me bus money.
She said don't bother comin' home.
And so I"¦
Called the boss
And said the load was lost.
I thought he's gonna flip his wig.
Yeah"¦ a moment quick enjoyment.
Now I'm back on unemployment
Cuz somebody sole my rig
Ahh, ahhhh, ahhh"¦
Somebody stole my rig.
Somebody stole my rig.
Yeah"¦ a moment quick enjoyment.
Now I'm back on unemployment
Cuz somebody sole my rig
But if I"¦
Ever get a job behind the wheel again
I'm never gonna fool around.
I'll keep an eye on the road and an eye on the load
I'll never even slow it down.
And I'll stay concerned with the lesson I learned.
I'll bet it's gonna change my luck.
And I'll never leave a truck to go visit no girl
I'm gonna bring the girls to the truck.
Ahh, ahhhh, ahhh"¦
Somebody stole the rig.
Somebody stole my rig.
A moment quick enjoyment.
Now I'm back on unemployment
Cuz somebody sole my rig
Yeah"¦wheels on the cinders
And I run to the windows.
And somebody stole my rig.
[Speaks]
Yeah"¦I'll tell ya"¦
My black book was in the glove compartment.
That's what really bugs me.
[Fading out]
I don't mind walkin'
Or losin my job or anything"¦
Somebody stole my rig.
