How Fast Them Trucks Will Go
Recorded by Boxcar Willie
Written by C.J. Anderson

C
You know a lot of folk stop at truck stops
          F
They just naturally think they should
          G7
Well they figure any place that a truck driver eats
    C
The food's just gotta be good
                                  
So they go there amongst all them truckers
            F
Sittin' and talkin' about their loads
        G7
Talkin' 'bout women and stuff like that
        C                      F  G7  C
And how fast them trucks'll go


There's a little old place on I-76
        F
Where a lot of them drivers stop and get their kicks
G7                                                 C
Reckless eye-balling this waitress they got called Flo

Now there's always a bunch and they're a-hangin' out
     F
Just cuttin' up and talkin' about
        G7
How she wiggles when she walks and stuff like that
        C
And how fast them trucks'll go


It's a wonder a fella can sit down and eat
    F
His ham an' eggs or his bread and meat
       G7                                         C
With a good lookin' woman like that around on the go

First thing you know you start to fidget and fussin'
F
Nudgin' one another instead of discussin'
     G7
Just how she wiggles when she walks and stuff like that
        C                      F  G7  C
And how fast them trucks'll go


Well old Flo just takes it all in stride
    F
And swells all up with her woman pride
                  G7                                      C
She's tickled all plum pink y'all come in just to see her show

Yeah she throws in an little extra little wiggle in her walk
    F
And you just sit there and grin and gawk
      G7
About homemade lovin' and stuff like that
        C
And how fast them trucks'll go


Now I can't explain it how it makes you feel
        F
But you tip her five bucks on a two dollar bill
    G7                                   C
Get yourself an' start headin' out kinda slow

When you're pushin' that diesel on down the line
               F
And you get to thinkin' 'bout the woman you've left behind
        G7
How she wiggles when she walks and stuff like that
             C                      F  G7  C
And just how fast them trucks'll go

                                  
Ah them trucks'll go a little faster
                                                             F
When you get to thinkin' 'bout that woman you've left behind
G7                  C
Goodbye officer and Smokey
                        F
Just how fast will them trucks go
