Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know we got a full week of work ′round here
Won't have no problem if you listen here
So come on FreightLine, get your ass in gear
Come on FreightLine, gotta burn them wheels
You ain′t gonna stop, ain't worried 'bout meals
We′ll get some diesel and some Adderall pills
There′s a woman waiting patiently
And in her sweet arms is where I really wanna be
So get on it, FreightLine, we need more speed
I gotta be in Beaumont, deadline is 3
I'll watch for Five-O if′n you'll just please
Get on it, FreightLine, we need more speed
So come on, FreightLine, don′t you understand
She's got the heart of this working man
And I′ll be trucking hard as a truckin' can
So come on, FreightLine, don't you understand
There′s a woman waiting patiently
And in her sweet arms is where I really wanna be
So come on, FreightLine
Oh get on it, FreightLine

Never thought that an opener at a CoJo concert would be my favorite artist but he definitely is. :)
@greenwaldmusic9623
Agree I’m huge on King now. Since COJO brung him to Ohio April 2019
@khaosinfire
Just recently discovered Randall, definitely a favorite, I dare to say if he keeps it up and stays away from Nashville he will be the next George Strait.
@greenwaldmusic9623
My guitar instructor compares him to Merle haggard cause he can jam and also slow it down and he said back when Merle done it he was told you can’t do both but he said watch me.
@juliesullivan7994
@WesternStar33 that's what I think. He is the next George Strait!
