Trucker's Lament

Halfway to Dallas
Half a six pack to go
Beeper went off
a half-hour ago

Just leavin' town
shoulda' stopped me
... at the sound
Caught up a' dreamin'
shallows, disturbed my tow
and a claim to all
I ever wished to know
included I wished
... all axes interred
Truckers's lament, I suppose
