Haulin' Lyrics - The Open Road - John Hiatt

Haulin', I'm haulin' 

Fort Smith to Louisville 

I'm gonna see my baby 

See my baby with time to kill 

Well, I'm flyin', flyin' 

No one on the road tonight 

My radar detector's not buzzin' 

No eighteen wheeler, not a cop in sight 

Got a little gig in Nashville 

Beat it back to Arkansas 

Followed me all the way to Little Rock 

Sayin' something I done was against the law 

So I'm haulin', haulin' 

Fort Smith to Louisville 

Gonna see my baby 

Gonna see my baby with time to kill

So I'm haulin', haulin' 

I'm gonna get there 

Rollin' in the blue grass of Kentucky 

I'm gonna get there 

V-8 slappin' out real time 

Deeper than a 808 

Leakin' red eye gravy from my manifold 

Spoutin' hot coffee from the boiler plate 

I'm chewin' up the road like biscuits 

Makin' all the time in the world 

Sun comes up and I'm crossin' 

Kentucky state line gonna see my girl 

She likes it early in the mornin' 

Like it in the evening too 

In between, she don't mind it 

Just about any old time will do

So I'm haulin', haulin' 

Fort Smith to Louisville 

I'm gonna see my baby 

See my baby with time to kill 

And I'm haulin', haulin' 

I'm gonna get there 

Rollin' in the green grass of Kentucky 

Yeah, I'm gonna get there 

I tell her not to worry 

They couldn't pin nothin' on me 

Club owner, short a hundred dollars 

I do it for fun but I still gotta eat 

I cut him and I coasted through Conway 

Put him by the side of the road 

Made Fort Smith that evening 

Packed me a bag, now I'm ready to go 

And I'm haulin', haulin' 

Fort Smith to Louisville 

I'm gonna see my baby 

Gonna see my baby with time to kill 

Flyin', flyin' 

I'm gonna get there 

Rollin' in the green grass of Kentucky 

Oh, I'm gonna get there 

Flyin', flyin' 

I'm gonna get there 

Rollin' in the green grass of Kentucky 

Oh, I'm gonna get there, yeah
