phantom 309 - del reeves كلمات أغنية

i was out on the west coast, uh y’see, tryna make a buck
and things didn’t work out, i was kinda d_down on my luck
i just got tired of roamin’ and, uh, bummin’ around
so i started thumbin’ back east, t_toward my hometown

made a lotta miles the first two days
and i figured i’d be home, i’d, i’d be home in week, if my luck held this way
but, the third night, i got stranded way outside of town
at a cold, lonely crossroads, and uh, the rain was a_pourin’ down

and i was hungry, and i was freezin’, and done caught a chill
when the lights of a big old semi topped the hill
lord, i’s, i was sure glad to hear them airbrakes come on
and i climbed in that cab, i knew it’d be warm

at the wheel, uh, sat a big man, he weighed about two_ten, i’d say
stuck out his hand and said with a grin
uh, big joe’s the name, and i_i told him mine
he said, the name of my rig is phantom 309

well, i asked him, why, why he called his rig such a name
he said, son, this ol’ mack can put ’em all to shame
there ain’t a driver, or a rig, r_runnin’ any line
that’s seen nothin’ but t_tail_lights from phantom 309

well, w_w_w_w_we rode and we talked the best part of the night
when the lights of a truck stop came, came into sight there
he said, i’m sorry son, but this is far as you go
’cause, i gotta, i g_, i’ve got to make another t_turn just up the road
but, he_he tossed me a dime, and, as, as he pulled her in low
and said, have yourself a hot cup on, on ol’ big joe
when joe and his big rig roared out into the night
w_why in nothin’ flat he was plumb outta sight

well, i went inside and ordered me a cup
i_i told the waiter, uh, looka here, big joe is settin’ me up
w_well, y_you coulda heard a pin drop, it got deathly quiet
and the w_, and the waiter’s face turned kinda white

i, did, did i say something wrong? i said with a h_halfway grin, uh
he said, naw, this, this happens every now and then, uh
every driver in here knows big joe
but son, let me tell you what happened about, uh, ten years ago

at the crossroads tonight, where, w_w_where y_you flagged him down
there was a busload of kids, a_comin’ into town
and they were r_right in the middle, uh, when joe topped the hill
it could have been slaughter, but, y’know, joe turned his wheels

joe lost control, went into a s_skid, and
gave his life to save that buncha kids
a_and there at that crossroads was the end, that was the end of the line
for big joe and phantom 309

but every now and then, uh, s_s_some hiker w_will come by
and like you, big joe’ll give ’em a dime
here, here, here, here, h_have another cup and forget about that dime, uh
keep it as a souvenir, from big joe and phantom 309
j_j_j_just keep it now
