Del Reeves - Looking At The World Through A Windshield Lyrics
LOOKIN’ AT THE WORLD THROUGH A WINDSHIELDWRITERS JERRY CHESNUT, MIKE HOYERWhen I was just a little bitty kid I remembered one time Mama saidDaddy sends you all his love from Frisco BayI didn’t understand till I was grownWhy my Daddy didn’t spend a little time at homeInstead of runnin’ around the country that wayNow I’m looking at the world through a windshieldAnd see everything in a little bit different lightI got a sweet little thing I’m wantin’ to see in NashvilleAnd I’m down around Dallas and a’rollin’ on fast tonightLong strips of rubber that you seeWere burned off of this rig by the likes of meAnd they’ll ride along the highways in this landI’m gonna sign my name in this diesel smokeAnd let the ones that come behind me chokeNow I’m looking at the world through a windshieldWatchin’ it a flyin’ by me at the rightI got a sweet little thing I’m wantin’ to see in NashvilleAnd I’m down around Dallas and a’rollin’ on fast tonightI’ve pushed this rig through sleet and rainAnd I’ve driven through the rough terrainOf the Rockies to the docks of old L.A.On down that old Pacific shore, sing north and headin’ for BaltimoreOf somethin’ ‘bout two thousand miles awayNow I’m looking at the world through a windshieldWatchin’ it a flyin’ by me at the rightI got a sweet little thing I’m wantin’ to see in NashvilleAnd I’m down around Dallas and a’rollin’ on fast tonight
