Well woman don't you put no bets on me that I might settle down

Cause I'm just not the settlin' kind I gotta chase around

Well I'm a truck drivin' daddy and I keep on a goin' 

And it's just about time that I'm gone

Cause black smoke blowin' over eighteen wheels well honey that's my home

Black smoke blowin' over eighteen wheels is the only home I've ever known

Black smoke a blowin' over eighteen wheels well honey that's my home

[ guitar - steel ]

Well I'd like to love you but I can't so I won't so what's the use to try

It wouldn't be long till my love was gone and I don't want to make you cry

So let's just kiss and say goodbye then I'll be gone

Cause black smoke blowin' over eighteen wheels well honey that's my home

Black smoke blowin' over...

Black smoke a blowin' over eighteen wheels well that's home sweet home
