Hes pulling out for Reno
He hopes a tire dont blow
Up near Albuquerque
Hell fuel and get some coffee
Clines Corners truck stop
A waitress with a wet mop
Telling him to dont walk
He tips his hat and dont talk
He knows its nothing but a good ride
No theres nothing there he cant slide
No theres nothing that he wont spin
No theres nothing to it do it again
No its nothing but the big show
No theres nowhere that he wont go
No he never has to ask why
He knows its nothing but a good ride
He says theres something about a sunrise
Waking up sleepy eyed
He says theres something about a highway
Telling him he cant stay
He says theres something about a long drive
That gives him some peace of mind
And theres something that he cant take
When hes coming in second place
He knows its nothing but a good ride
No theres nothing there he cant slide
No theres nothing that he wont spin
No theres nothing to it do it again
No its nothing but the big show
No theres nowhere that he wont go
No he never has to ask why
He knows its nothing but a good ride
And when its all over
Hell move a little slower
Hell back up to the trailer
And look toward Oklahoma
Hell pull out right through the middle of town
And watch the sun start sinking down
Still just lighting up the road signs
Getting ready for the next time.
He knows its nothing but a good ride
No theres nothing there he cant slide
No theres nothing that he wont spin
No theres nothing to it do it again
No its nothing but the big show
No theres nowhere that he wont go
No he never has to ask why
He knows its nothing but a good ride
