A Log Haulers Life

A LOG HAULERS LIFE IS SPECIAL AND ALMOST OBSOLEAT
WHEN YOU GET UP BRIGHT AND EARLY TO MAKE THE HAUL COMPLETE
YOU GRAB YOUR THERMOS OF COFFEE AND A LUNCH BOX FOR THE DAY
AND HOPE YOU HAVE NO BREAKDOWNS THAT MIGHT OCCUR ALONG THE WAY
THE ROAD IS ROUGH AND WINDING THAT YOU CAN BE SURE
WITH SWITCH BACKS AND BUMPS THAT SHAKEN EVERY NERVE
ALTHOUGH THE HOURS LONG AND BURDENS AT MANY TIME
AND WOUNDER IF YOU MAKE IT HOME TO WATCH THE EVENING NEWS
NOT KNOWING WHERE YOU ARE GOING EACH AND EVERY DAY
YOU KNOW YOU GOT TO GET THERE TO GET THAT SPECIAL PAY
ALTHOUGH IT CAN BE TIRESOME EACH AND EVERY DAY
BUT DOING IT FOR THIRTHY YEARS YOU NO THERES JUST NO WAY
I'VE SEEN THEM COME AND SEN THEM GO THIS JOURNEY I BEEN ON
FROM PASSING THROUGH FROM JOB TO JOB OR MAINLY PASSING ON
IT'S BEEN ROUGH ON THIS LOG HAULER ALL THESE MANY YEARS
BUT SEEING THE MOON GO DOWN AND THE SUN RISE AS I AM ON A MOUNTAIN TOP
AND KNOWING GOD IS WITH ME AS I MAKE THIS GREAT BIG DROP
THE WINTERS COLD THE SPRING WET THE SUMMER ROADS ARE DRY
BUT I KNOW THAT DAY WILL COME WHEN I HAVE TO SAY GOOD BYE
TO THE CHAINS AND THE WRAPPERS THAT I SLUNG BY AND BY
FROM SEEING NEW BABY WILDLIFE THAT HAD BEEN RECENTLY BORN
JUST KNOWING GODS CREATION WILL ALLWAYS CARRY ON
I'VE LOST ALOT OF LOG HAULER FRIENDS THAT I CAN'T DISPLAY

FROM JACK MY NEXT DOOR NEIGBORTHAT I WAVED AT EVERY DAY
YES THAT DAY WILL COME WHEN I HAVE TO SAY GOOD BYE BUT MY TIME
IS JUST NOT READY AND I KNOW I MUST CARRY ON
ANOTHER LOAD TOMARROW AND THE NEXT DAY AFTER THAT
UNTIL THATDAY COMES WHEN I HAVE TO HANG MY HARD HAT
YES A LOG HAULERS LIFE IS SPECIALTHIS YOU CAN BE SURE
I WOULD'NT TRADE FOR A MILLION EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD
SO IF YOU SEE ME GOING BY IN A BRIGHT RED TRUCK
YOU'LL KNOW THAT I AM STILL HAULING LOGS ISN'T THAT JUST MY LUCK
YES A LOG HAULERS LIFE IS SPECIAL.
