Mad Trucker

[Hook]
Some folks turn like a season
Some folks kneel down to pray
And some folks run from the demons when they come
And other folks drive 'em away

[Verse 1: EpicLLOYD]
She was a waitress, he was a trucker
He struck gold the day he met her, and he knew it
He was ripped and torn on the outside
But she could see through it
They were together
And she was the one
Married at dawn
And the in the cabs spoke their vows
All in love and somehow made a house
Set up on eighteen wheels
Sealed souls over the highway
And as they rolled, he'd pour out his heart
They'd run away someday, he would say
[?] somehow he could pay
Laid her head on his chest
It's okay, not today
But today, she left for work

[Hook]

[Verse 2: EpicLLOYD]
She didn't know them
They were unfamiliar
There were six of them and she was alone
Bearded devils, in leather jackets
Strode cold, in the bar
Harleys parked out in front by her car
Slaps and blades, as they had their way
Kicks and screams, as they had their way
Felt like days face down in the dirt
How she lay when the cops came quiet
Dead, and limp on the earth

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3: EpicLLOYD]
It rained on the day she was buried
There weren't many there, it was very grey
Vacant was the face of this man, raped of love
He stood above the hole in the ground like a chimney
And as he looked down, his heart started to turn
And inside his mind a thought started to burn
That night parked his truck outside a chopper bar
Tore the sleeves off his arms
And started talking 'bout engines
And as the months passed, he got all the right tracks
Hung with all the right sense, even burned a few patches
But wherever he be, always underneath
He was searching for a clue to these bastards
And then one night, pulled up to see
A crew bragging 'bout a waitress they beat
How they'd all got a piece
And right then in his heart, the mad trucker knew
These were the motherfuckers he'd by dyin' to ahh
That first moment, it was the hardest
But he grit his teeth and he smiled through the pain
Put on an accent, slapped their backs, and had a laugh
By the end of the night, they were all callin' each other by their first names
True to her were his thoughts, as he bought shots
Over and over, and over again
And over the nights, and over the months
And over the year, made them think that they were friends
And he still drove that rig, and was fuelled by his wrath
On the track up from Phoenix to Chicago and back
They travelled with em, and he would let 'em draft
Leaned back in his path to catch a break on gas
They would all go fast, 75 miles an hour with ease
No breeze and his knees shook, they looked pleased
In their rear view, with no idea what they'd do, or what he'd lost
What they took for what they did, they had no clue
Infinite times her face flashed in his eyes
Their last goodbye the day she died, and she was beautiful
Cut and beat from all sides, but in his mind
She still managed to smile, and so he smiled too
At them, as his heart collapsed
Tiped his hat in the mirror
Locked the brakes to crash
Smack it to the back of the truck
"What's up now, motherfuckers!"

[Hook] (x2)

[Verse 3: EpicLLOYD]
Six bodies laid, shred head to feet
Blood spread in the street like sweet chocolate melts
And he felt old, as he opened the cab door
Just hoping he could say more
Five were dead, one was left
Coughing up blood for his last breath
The trucker stood on his chest
And he said "I'm leavin'
And you can't come with me
But know as you die
This was for Britney"

[Instrumental]
