Susanville Lyrics

With 800 pounds on 18 wheels
After 800 miles you know how it feels
To have your rear so numb you gotta poke it
To see if it's still thereWell it's one more load to one more town
Only problem is they're all starting to sound a bit similar
Lord knows they all look the same
So I got some hot coffee in Furnace CreekAbout the trouble is I was never neat and I spilled it
And my map and phone book were a blur
But I had a girl and a job to do or was that job and a girl to do?
I don't know I had to go and my velvet interior was a soggy messWell I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville
Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife
I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville
But I can't remember which to save to save my lifeWith a load to Mr. Johnson in Watsoville
Or is that a load to Mr. Watson in Johnsonville?
Well, anyway, after six days I don't know what or if it mattered
Just a load of placer to Cedarville, or a load of cedar to PlacervilleOr a container full of things up to Diamond Springs
For an indoor swap meet
Is that a cargo of hay south to Northfork

Some plastic forks north to HayforkOr a bunch of men's nugget watches straight through to Pixley
Hauling Apple Jacks down to Fall River Mills
Or honor snacks up to Downieville?
Well, the white girls are cute that I've met in Blackbute
But I'll stick to the road and finish my beer and coffeeWell I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville
Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife
I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville
But I can't remember which to save to save my lifeNow I am marrying Jan from Susanville
Or am I suing Jane from Mary's ville?
If I am I better call Ernie my attorney from Burney Falls
Well, all I know is if I recallShe had the longest legs and she was kinda tall
And prettier than a catfish with its nose up against a dam
Without a girl and some time to kill
I ran some baby food up to GerbervilleAnd took some airplane parts to Wilbur in Oreville
Now that can't be Wright, well it's one more load one more town
Only problem is they're all startin' to sound a bit similar
Lord knows they all look the sameWell I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville
Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife
I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville
But I can't remember which to save to save my life
