about

'The lyrics to this one deal with a trucker who works all over the country and picks up hitchhikers. Soon after he displays his gun, but only uses it when the hitchhiker wants to get out. Apparently shooting them from behind, 'cause it is said that they always leave his truck face down. Musically it's a relaxed mid tempo track. It has been done live with instrumental backing on August 11 and August 13, 2010, and once or twice in September and maybe October of 2010. From the Outlawed Outsider! EP only this one and opening song In My House There’s A Room Full Of Bodies! were played live.'

lyrics

Chorus:
I was born a truckin' psychopath
My cabin holds the steering wheel of death
And when I see you on a hike
Hitching for that free truck ride
I'm the last one you will meet in life

The freeways and roads are my life
And I'm never done, 'cause my work will go on
I pick you up from the roadside
And after a while I will show you my gun

Chorus

I'm truckin' alone across the land
And stop for some gas in any ol' town
I buy my ammo wherever I can
And when you leave my truck
I'll make sure it's face down
Yeah, when you leave my truck
I'll make sure it's face down

Chorus
