Well woman don't you put no bets on me that I might settle down
Cause I'm just not the settlin' kind I gotta chase around
Well I'm a truck drivin' daddy and I keep on a goin'

And it's just about time that I'm gone
Cause black smoke blowin' over eighteen wheels well honey that's my home
Black smoke blowin' over eighteen wheels is the only home I've ever known
Black smoke a blowin' over eighteen wheels well honey that's my home
[ guitar - steel ]
Well I'd like to love you but I can't so I won't so what's the use to try
It wouldn't be long till my love was gone and I don't want to make you cry
So let's just kiss and say goodbye then I'll be gone
Cause black smoke blowin' over eighteen wheels well honey that's my home
Black smoke blowin' over...
Black smoke a blowin' over eighteen wheels well that's home sweet home
