Tombstone Every Mile

All you big and burly men who roll the trucks along

Better listen you’ll be thankful when you hear my song

You have really got it made if you’re hauling goods

Anyplace on earth but those Haynesville Woods

It’s a stretch of road up north in Maine

That’s never ever ever seen a smile

If they’d buried all the truckers lost in them woods

There’d be a tombstone every mile

Count ’em off there’d be a tomb-stone every mile

You’ve gotta drive the woods to get to Boston town

When it’s winter up in Maine better check it over twice

That Haynesville road is just a ribbon of ice

It’s a stretch of road up north in Maine

That’s never ever ever seen a smile

If they’d buried all the truckers lost in them woods

There’d be a tombstone every mile

Count ’em off there’d be a tomb-stone every mile

Down that stretch of road in Maine they call the Haynesville Woods

He’ll tell you that dying and going down below

Won’t be half as bad as driving on that road of ice and snow

It’s a stretch of road up north in Maine

That’s never ever ever seen a smile

If they’d buried all the truckers lost in them woods

There’d be a tombstone every mile

Count ’em off there’d be a tomb-stone every mile
