Shel Silverstein

Im haulin 20 tons of freight
Into New York State
Started thinkin about Mary Jane.
She lived over the hill
I had an hour to kill
I thought Id get in out of the rain.
Oh my...
She looked so fine
Had a bottle of wine
I had myself a little bit of swig
Then I heard wheels on the cinders
And I run to the windows
And somebody stole my rig.
Oh, ohhh, oh...
Somebody stole my rig.
Somebody stole my rig.
Heard the wheels on the cinders
And I run to the windows.
Somebody stole my rig.
And when I...
Called up the cops
Told em try to stop em
Nobody answered the phone
And so I called up my honey
Told her to send me bus money.
She said dont bother comin home.
And so I...
Called the boss
And said the load was lost.
I thought hes gonna flip his wig.
Yeah... a moment quick enjoyment.
Now Im back on unemployment
Cuz somebody sole my rig
Ahh, ahhhh, ahhh...
Somebody stole my rig.
Somebody stole my rig.
Yeah... a moment quick enjoyment.
Now Im back on unemployment
Cuz somebody sole my rig
But if I...
Ever get a job behind the wheel again
Im never gonna fool around.
Ill keep an eye on the road and an eye on the load
Ill never even slow it down.
And Ill stay concerned with the lesson I learned.
Ill bet its gonna change my luck.
And Ill never leave a truck to go visit no girl
Im gonna bring the girls to the truck.
Ahh, ahhhh, ahhh...
Somebody stole the rig.
Somebody stole my rig.
A moment quick enjoyment.
Now Im back on unemployment
Cuz somebody sole my rig
Yeah...wheels on the cinders
And I run to the windows.
And somebody stole my rig.
[Speaks]
Yeah...Ill tell ya...
My black book was in the glove compartment.
Thats what really bugs me.
[Fading out]
I dont mind walkin
Or losin my job or anything...
Somebody stole my rig.
