I got the piggyback blues what's a feller to do 
When the cab of a truck's been his home 
I got the piggyback I gotta change my ways cause the long 
old hauls're gone 

Well the boss called us in about a month ago said fellow 
the long hauls're through 
Take your trailer to the railroad yard there's a flat car 
waitin' for you 
There's a flat car a waitin' for you 
I'd like to see Mary in Abilene and Susie in Omaha 
I'd like to see Jeannie in Albequerk' and Betty in 
Wichita and Betty in Wichita 
I got the piggyback blues... 
[ guitar ] 
Well these piggyback cars're gonna change my life I'll 
have to start to slippin' around 
I'll have to get the kitch that I miss so much in the 
places on the outskirts of town 
Yeah the places on the outskirts of town 
I got the piggyback blues...
