Sweet Melinda Letra

Pulled out of Denton, TexasTwo days and nights agoI been livin' on pills and burgiesTill the whites of my eyes don't showThe south-bound headlights are makin' me blindAnd I'm too damn tired to blinkMy toes are numb and my brain's gone dumbAnd I can just barely thinkDoo doo doo, sweet Melinda, my wifeThe lonesome moan of this eighteen wheelerCuts through me like a knifeExcept for you, sweet Melinda, my wifeI been ridin' on empty most all of my lifeWhoooTwo more hours till daylightAnd it's startin' to rain againA sign up ahead says welcome to ParadisePopulation TenWell, me and this truck and that old white lineStumblin' on and onLike three old drinkin' buddiesComin' home at dawnSingin' Ooh, sweet Melinda, my wifeThe lonesome moan of this eighteen wheelerCuts through me like a knifeExcept for you, sweet Melinda, my wifeI been ridin' on empty most all of my lifeWhoo, whooo'Cept for you, Sweet Melinda, my wifeThe lonesome moan of this eighteen wheelerCuts through me like a knifeExcept for you, Sweet Melinda, my wifeI been ridin' on empty most all of my lifeWhoo, I been ridin' on empty most all of my life
