Wear Out The Turnpike

Croce Jim

The Faces I've Been

Wear Out The Turnpike

Written by - Jim Croce & Ingrid Croce

There's ice and snow on the northern roads

And the Jersey Pike is closed

Have to go and do some drivin' tonight

They say I'd be a fool if I would ride those icy roads

But a little storm ain't stoppin' me tonight

Chorus:

I'm gonna wear out the turnpike

Rack up those miles

Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile

'Cause she's in Oklahoma and

I'm up in Maine

So diesel sing a song that will bring me home again

Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doodle doo doo doo

There's a red light turnin' behind me

There's a trooper on my tail

I can tell I won't get to New York town on time

If he decides to pull me over

And if he get's me on the scale

I'm gonna have to tell a tale or take a fine

Chorus

With the snow against my windshield

I will run on through the night

There's not stoppin' me once I hit the road

Cause the turnpike's like my second home

And I know it like my hand

So diesel sing a song that'll bring me home again

Chorus
