It's getting real late
been driving too long
sixty years old
all battered and worn
know what I had
but who knows what's left
guess I'm just kidding myself

One day I have it
the next day it's gone
don't have much hair left
or strength in my arms
never quite sure
of how it once felt
now I'm just kiding myself

Know life ain't so bad
just sure it won't last
had my time for women
and driving too fast
when times got too hard
I'd have one more belt
afraid to stop kidding myself

Guess I'll pull over
there's lights down the road
tired of driven'
and pulling this load
I keep goin' right
when I shoulda gone left
why am I kidding myself

Worked all my life
and still not ahead
wife likes nice things
and babies need fed
when I first saw her
my heart would just melt
now I'm just kidding myself

Maybe if I could
start all over again
anyway, probably
just turn out the same
always made promises
that I never kept
while I was kidding myself

Just one more run
and I'll start living my life
but kids are all gone
and I can't stand my wife
better keep rollin'
in my Peterbilt
and try to stop kidding myself
