I left Seattle and I was runnin' late it was
rainin' rainin' rainin' cats and dogs
Well that road was slick and full of little
tricks like a walkin' on a slick hickory log
I had five axles in a while Mustang I was pullin'
seventy thousands on behind
As I rolled her out of town to turn Fort Lynn
around
I built a fire and I let her unwind
Blindin' lights rainy nights jack knife
[ guitar ]
Well I made that mountain went over the top and I
rolled down all the way
I went into a kerb that took a lotta nerve as I
left that mountain sway
As that tandem shuttered then settled on down I
heard an airhold snap
Well there was no doubt I had to write her on out
or let her jack knife in my lap
Blindin' lights and rainy nights jack knife
[ guitar ]
There's a lot of operators who can tell you how a
runaway rig can kill
So I said me a prayer and then I hit the air and
let her jack knife off of that hill
Well I crawled out of that pile of junk then I
walked away with a smile
But I got out with my life but a mean jack knife
put me a walkin' for a while
Blindin' lights and rainy nights jack knife
