lyrics

She come a long long way
For a good old boy
And a letter from the interstate

It said I love you little girl
I want to make you mine
But don’t you go and make me wait

She shoulda known better when she saw that the letter was written on a motel bill
But by the time it arrived she was blind with the signs of lovin’ and wedding bells

How do you send love letters to an 18 wheeler
How you fall in love with a drivin’ man
Take a good long look before he up and leaves you
And you’re sitting here waiting on the wheels again

Well he woke up in the night time
Carrying on saying
Brother what have you done

Your boots are burnin’
And the truck is full
If you hurry you got time to run

Well she headed down the road with the letter that he wrote and smile right across her face
She didn’t even see him doin’ a hundred and three when he passed her goin’ the other way

How do you send love letters to an 18 wheeler
How you fall in love with a drivin’ man
Take a good long look before he up and leaves you
And you’re sitting here waiting on the wheels again

Now it’s apron strings
And cigarette smoke
And she’s sleepin’ in the bed alone

Never mind playing wife
She would settle for a call
But she’s waiting on the telephone

She got her self a job where she heard he drinks and she’s looking’ for the day to come
When he rolls into town and he’s settling down and his rambling’ days are done

How do you send love letters to an 18 wheeler
How you fall in love with a drivin’ man
Take a good long look before he up and leaves you
And you’re sitting here waiting on the wheels again
And you’re sitting here waiting on the wheels again

Ryan Necci and the Buffalo Gospel Nashville, Tennessee

Ryan Necci and the Buffalo Gospel delivers through a virtual “who’s-who” of crack Midwest musicians who have assembled around Necci’s heartfelt and heartbreaking songs. Their wildcat live performances take listeners to a dusty, forlorn, but strangely familiar place that simply gets sweeter with time. ... more
