I rode one with a six pack
Goldilocks said it wasn’t right
I got on one with a flat bed
Mmmm, he said it was alright
I found a round cab, a big wide load
That was comfy and nice
I’d like to stay here snuggled up and fine
Just right to end my long haul nights

I took a nap on an air ride
One Oh Nine inches of inside height
Axle spread, plate side walls
18 wheeler super single with a haul
Hey Mack, I like your rig
A semi lorry, juggernaut, class 5 gig
Hey Jack, you wanna piggy back?
Show me your tail lift four stroke Euro 5 synchro-mesh tow

Double line, shift on the floor
Let me feel the rubber on the road, baby let’s go
Break fast, shift slow, watch your tow
Pull it through the 18, 10-4 baby, Suzie coils hold

I think I like your wheelbase
Give me your diesel engine'd b-double converter gear
You make me want to pump a double clutch
Just like a fully - articulated low boy pup,
Ain’t got no brake fade here,
Bring me the king pin, honey baby, not the fifth wheel
I want your overweight load
Let’s see if Peterbilt your Freightliner up to code.
