    Lyrics:
    You mark me with a cigarette
    Burn on my chest
    Just to say
    I love you
    They say you could treat me better
    But I just can't stand the weather
    When it rains
    I say I love you, too
    Save my soul
    Cause we're on the road to nowhere
    Every stop could be our home
    Make me whole
    I don't know if we're worth saving
    Eighteen wheels on the road
    Rain, sleet, heat, or cold
    Just trying to fill that dirty old billfold
    Darling I ain't left yet
    Still gotta cash this long haul check
    Just to pay my lot dues
    I could try to treat you better
    Gimme a chance, this gosh darn weather
    It'll be an hour or two
    The travel ad in the back room
    Sure looks beautiful when I'm making my rounds
    And when you're gone and I'm waiting
    I'll be useful. I'll make you proud
    Save my soul
    Cause we're on the road to nowhere
    Every stop could be our home
    Make me whole
    I don't know if we're worth saving
    Eighteen wheels on the road
    Rain, sleet, heat, or cold
    Just trying to fill that dirty old billfold

    Don’t know what brought your music to me but DON’T EVER STOP singing and playing these old country cowboy songs. You make me actually feel something when you play. Your dang “grampa song” about dumpster diving actually gave me a tea (Grampas should never die). Keep doing what you do Joshua, and thank you.

    I've said it to myself many times, and I want to say it here too: thank you for this song, JRW. Beautiful is too limiting of a word. My first husband drove long haul and I lived in the truck for a little less than a year. That was so long ago and it was a painful time so I've distanced myself from the memories, more than I realized. What I do remember are the truck stops. Strange moments passing through the driver door, ("I don't bite"). Watching the comings and goings from the back lot while waiting for a load.
