There Ain't No Easy Run Lyrics - Del Reeves

I was sittin' in the terminal waitin' for my load 

When a greenhorn driver came in off of the road 

I heard him tell that foreman get my little pink slip 

This run's too tough and I'm gonna quit 

Now the foreman that day happened to be old Joe 

Man, he was older than time 

He said, "Son, how long you been drivin' this rig" 

I drove all shapes forms fashions and kinds 

And here you are worried about this one little trip 

Why I drove a million miles and then some 

He looked that greenhorn right in the eye 

And he said, "Boy, there ain't no easy run" 

I drove for Roadway Interstate Gotwell Great Lake's 

Hoffermack and Time Mayflower and Freigh Line 

Specter Yellow Transit Western and Gillete 

Redball Rider North Western Big Seattle 

Beaver Bell Hoover and McLeans 

Gateway Motor Freight Transport Pikes 

Dixie Ohio Trans American South 

East Tex Mason Dixon Watkin and Transcon 

Wilson Associate got all that drivin' done 

I'll tell you, boy, there ain't no easy run 

If you got a gal in Texas, they'll send you up to Maine 

If you got a gal in New York, they'll send you out to the plains 

I know what your problem is you got woman trouble son 

Well, like I said, there ain't no easy run 

I drove for Navajo Rate Goose DC 

North American Airlight Chicago Motor Freight Line 

Yuma Curtis Eastern and NX 

Garrett Ace Federal and ETM 

And Neptun and Herron Brinks and Sea Lab 

Dudley Dorsey Bekins and Billingham 

Cooper Detroit Jones American too 

Nightmay and Central Standard and Boston Sue 

And Yunhan and Buckingham got all that drivin' done 

And I'll tell you, boy, there ain't no easy run 

I went backward, forward, uphill, downhill 

Chills spills thrills and pills and how 'bout Atlas?
