Oh that a little bitty teeny weeny thing called the love bug
Nobody's ever seen it but it's got the whole world shook up
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug
It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing called the love bug [ guitar ]
Well I always thought that I had me a pretty good style
But I lost that race by a good old country mile
Yeah I was walkin' around with my head held way up high
And it fooled me hit me really took me by surprise
Oh that a little bitty teeny...
It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing called the love bug

I got me ten forward gears and a George overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide
Well I just passed a Jimmy in white I been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like that sort of the guys
I could find one to hold me tight but I could never make believe it's alright
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight [ guitar - dobro ]
Well the ICC is checkin' on down the line
Well I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
But nothin' bothers me tonight I could dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Well my rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from my stack and that smoke's a blowin' like it's cold
My hometown's a comin' in sight if you think I'm a happy you're right
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight

When I awke this a morning the rain was a pouring down
I was gonna wed the little river girl just over the bridge across town
Now I'm a runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild
Because the bridge washed out I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride is a waitin' and the weddin' bells are starting to chime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's driving me out of my mind
The bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side [ guitar ]
Now I got one foot in the water the other foot solid on the ground
When I try to swim that ragin' ol' river I know if I try I'd drown
There's not a boat around me they walked on out with the tide
And the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Rain oh rain stop a fallin'...
The bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

Talk back trembling lips shaky legs don't just stand there
Don't let her know she's gettin' through to you
Talk back trembling lips burning eyes don't start crying
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two
Everyday our love's a battle royal lateseems that fighting's all we ever do
But if I let you know how much I love you you'll do things to me you shouldn't do
Talk back trembling lips... [ fiddle ]
Everytime you up and hurt my feelings I pretend it couldn't matter less
I'm just hiding all of my emotions behind the broken heart I guess
Talk back trembling lips...
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two
**********
I'm tempted my darling to steal you away
Don't let me cross over stay out of my way
You know that I love you and I'm not the stealing kind
But I'm faced with heartaches and love's cheating line
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
You belong to another and can never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
I've tried to forget you but what else can I do
When your eyes keep saying that you love me too
I know if I lose you not a dream will be left
I don't want to cheat dear but I can't help myself
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops on a barstool not doing so well
The floor's got a carpet of sorrow but no one can weep in the aisle
And they say someone broke the bar mirror with only the ghost of a smile
The hands of the clock never alter for things never change in the place
There's no present no past and no future we're the ones who have lost in love's race
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome...
**********
There's not any mountain too rocky to climb no desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love I could bear any loss
Take me to Siberia and to coldest weather of the wintertime
And it would be just like spring in California as long as I knew you were mine
Well I recall the first time that I flirted with you dear
When I jokingly said come and be my bride
Now that time has turned the pages it's the sweetest joke on earth
That I have you dear forever by my side [ steel ]
Maybe someday you're gonna hurt me I've been hurting of before
Only God can know and time alone will tell
But in the mean time I'll be loving you with all my heart and soul
And pray God to let it last if it's his will
So now you found you were mistaken you thought your game was almost fun
The time has turned and left you weepin' go on and cry unfaithful one [ piano ]
So now you found you were mistaken the storms of loneliness have come
The time has turned and left you weepin' go on and cry unfaithful one
Go on and cry unfaithful one

Trailers for sale or rent rooms to left fifty cents
No phone no pool no pets I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah but two hours of pushing broom buys a eight by twelve four bit room
I'm a man of means by no means king of the road
I know every engineer on every train
All of the children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around
I sing trailers for sale or rent...
Third bocxcar midnight train destination Bangor Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found short but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means king of the road
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone [ steel - fiddle ]
It amazes me not knowing any better
Than to think I'd find a love that could be true
Oh I should be taken out tired and feathered
To have let myself be taken in by you
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream
Somebody threw a baseball through my window
And the arm fell off my favorite chair again
Some man called me today and said he haul my things away
If I didn't get my payments made by ten
