[Verse 1]
I've been driving these back roads
For twenty odd years
Delivering these goods
To town after town
I'm union I'm black
I've got a wife and two kids
I'll put 'em through college
Dragging this trailer around

[Verse 2]
Now I've been in hundreds of these places
That dot these dark highways
They stay open all night
With their bright neon signs
They're a welcome oasis
For us lonesome old drivers
We pull up our diesels
With red bleary eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
So I stop for the papеr
And that good cup of coffee
And I read and remembеr
How quickly things change
But a slap on the back s
Someone says "Hey bro' what's happenin'"
It come from so many, lord
And I don't know their names
[Chorus]
But it's nothing you notice
And you can't understand
So I keep to the right
Of the broken white line
But my eyes are still wandering
'Cause I'll always be looking for that
Good cup of coffee

[Verse 3]
Now I can sit at this counter
Get served in a minute
Small talk the weather
Or say nothing at all
But it's there, I can feel it
From many years past saying
If left up to me
I wouldn't serve you at all

[Verse 4]
Now I'll take it black or with cream
And any old sweetener
The hotter the better
But warm is okay
I'd even choke down a donut
Fold up my paper
Pay my buck fifty
And be on my way
[Pre-Chorus]
Well it might seem the same
For both you and me
The check and a smile
That says have a nice day
But as I climb up into my cab
I adjust my rear view mirror
And I notice my color

[Chorus]
But it's nothing you notice
And you can't understand
So I keep to the right
Of the broken white line
But my eyes are still wandering
'Cause I'll always be looking
Eternally searching for it
I'm always looking for that
Good cup of coffee
