Verse 1: I was driving down the road, feeling just fine My truck was running smooth, like it was designed But then I heard a sound, like a knock in the night My engine started smoking, it was quite a sight Chorus: I blew my truck motor, it's a sad, sad tale I'm stuck on the side of the road, it's like I'm in jail I never saw it coming, it happened so fast Now I'm out of luck, but I'll make it last Verse 2: I tried to fix it up, but it was no use The damage was done, and it was no excuse I should have taken better care, and done more maintenance But now I'm paying the price for my negligence Chorus: I blew my truck motor, it's a sad, sad tale I'm stuck on the side of the road, it's like I'm in jail I never saw it coming, it happened so fast Now I'm out of luck, but I'll make it last Bridge: It's not the end of the world, I'll get through this somehow I'll find a way to make it work, I'll figure it out I'll take this as a lesson, and learn from my mistake And next time, I'll make sure my engine's in better shape Chorus: I blew my truck motor, it's a sad, sad tale I'm stuck on the side of the road, it's like I'm in jail I never saw it coming, it happened so fast Now I'm out of luck, but I'll make it last Outro: I blew my truck motor, but I won't let it get me down I'll pick myself up, and I'll get back into town I'll keep on truckin', and I'll do it with pride And I'll never forget the day my engine died.
