About

My husband likes truck-driving music, so I naturally thought of something so surreal, it's playful.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Left a trail of diesel smoke

Down by that Redding line

Had a hunger I couldn't t-t-tame

Near the Lassen county sign

Walked inside that neon shack

Hunger was the only boss

Plate was piled up high

Drowning in that salsa toss

Pre-Chorus

Three pounds of beans

Three pounds of rice

Paid a heavy heavy price

Chorus

Oh I am rolling down the interstate

Burrito number four was a big mistake

Belly is a-moaning like a loaded freight

Trucking down the five in a sorry state

In a sorry state

Yeah I'm in a sorry state

Verse 2

Stomach doing backflips now

Steering wheel is getting tight

Eyes are searching for a rest

Underneath the pale moonlight

Passed a sign for Corning town

Grip is slipping on the wheel

Lord help this lonely man

Trying to manage every meal

Pre-Chorus

Cumin and spice

Everything nice

Turned my insides into ice

Chorus

Oh I am rolling down the interstate

Burrito number four was a big mistake

Belly is a-moaning like a loaded freight

Trucking down the five in a sorry state

In a sorry state

Yeah I'm in a sorry state

Bridge

Transmission is fine

Tires look great

But I am carrying

Way too much weight

A little too much weight

Chorus

Oh I am rolling down the interstate

Burrito number four was a big mistake

Belly is a-moaning like a loaded freight

Trucking down the five in a sorry state

In a sorry state

Yeah I'm in a sorry state
