I drove a Lonestar SkyRise
From Boston to Portland
Stopped at this dive –
I had to sort things out

Bartender said I had to finish my drink
I didn’t wanna leave
I needed time to think
But it’s no use now
Things will never be the same
So, I’m travelling the country
With a truckload of blame
I’ll drive from coast to coast
Hauling this truckload of blame

I may be sorry for this
I may be sorry for that
Trouble is – that ain’t where it’s at
I’m a sinner, like everybody else
But I’m crying to myself in my sleep
An’ it’s my own damn fault

I left her – one dreary day
Couple of kids, one on the way
I got no excuse
I’m a bounder and a fool
Was a cruel mistake I made
I’ve got a truckload of blame
I’ll drive from coast to coast
Hauling this truckload of blame

Eighteen wheels – Portland to Boston
No one knows I’m transporting my shame
So, I’m travelling the country
With a truckload of blame
I’ll drive from coast to coast
Hauling this truckload of blame
