Let me tell ya story ‘bout the Road Runner
He could drive a payload straight thru Spring & Summer
Left his child alone with the child's mother
Highway seemed to own the man

Workin' the clutch, blowin' smoke all day
Keepin' his feelin's on lay-away
Ask for more he'd say now boy go on and play
Then hop in that rig and carry on

They say the road can steal a man
When he’s missing something deep within
Guess I'll never know what was keeping him from us

From time to time he'd come rollin up
See how we were doing let us ride in the truck
The world’s a lot smaller from up in that cab
Maybe that's why he drives

They say the road can steal a man
When he’s missing something deep within
Guess I'll never know what was keeping him from us
But I don't need to understand
Don't need a reason to forgive a man
Felt his love in the palm of my hand 
Maybe that’s enough

Let me tell you a story ‘bout Little Road Runner
He's all grown up with a brand new daughter
And you can bet that girl is gonna know her father…
