Leave Some Space!

Leave some space, leave some space! I can't burn up my brakes And need time to hit my Jakes Leave some space, leave some space! I got 22 tons of freight 38 tons Gross vehicle weight Leave some space, leave some space! It's either Never, or Late! Yea better late than never. Even in perfect weather, 38 tons takes forever To slow down, i ain't hauling feathers. But you might grow some Heather, If you cut me off with no time To hit my Jake brake lever! And you end up with your angel wings Gone out this life like a heifer Before it gets turned into leather! No use slamming on my brake pedal It'll just fade away from all the heat And you'll soon be getting buried 6 feet! Don't matter if you see a Kenworth Or Volvo, or a Pete! Don't matter if it's Amazon prime Or if it's Crete! We all need at least 200 feet, To react to the traffic up the street! So unless you want carried off in a white sheet, You best believe You better leave! Plenty of space for me, And every other driver Driving a rig from any other fleet! Semi crashes ain't sweet! They more sour than A sour patch at your local AMC! So please, please, please! Leave some space, leave some space! I can't burn up my brakes And need time to hit my Jakes Leave some space, leave some space! I got 22 tons of freight 38 tons Gross vehicle weight Leave some space, leave some space! It's either Never, or Late!
