Convoy in the Sky Lyrics by The Willis Brothers

Truck Drivin’ Son of a Gun

0

The night was dark and stormy, and the roads were wet with rain
As Jimmy Jones rolled on and on, his destination: Maine
He'd like to stop and rest awhile, but his freight just wouldn't keep
His body ached, his mind felt numb, his eyes half-closed with sleep
He thought about the time he lost with a woman, Mary Lou
And then his thoughts turned to his wife, he promised he'd be true
Temptation had stepped in his path, and he had failed the test
But if he stopped, he knew his conscience wouldn't let him rest
Roll along (Roll along), roll along (Roll along)
Convoy in the sky
Convoy in the sky
There in the night, he saw the lights: a truck stop just ahead
One cup of coffee he would have, enough to clear his head
As he stepped on the runnin' board, strange music he did hear
And suddenly, before his eyes, the truck stop disappeared
There in its place, a trailer sat, its color black as death
And seated there, beneath the wheel, sat the Devil himself
Then Jimmy's heart was filled with fear, for there, before his eyes
An endless line of trailers came a-rollin' through the skies
Roll along (Roll along), roll along (Roll along)
Convoy in the sky
Convoy in the sky
The drivers spoke of deeds they'd done and detours they had made
Now, drivin' for the Devil was the price that they had paid
"There is no time to stop and rest," he heard the Devil cry
As he led their convoy on across the dark and stormy sky
Roll along (Roll along), roll along (Roll along)
Convoy in the sky
Convoy in the sky
Convoy in the sky
Convoy in the sky
Convoy in the sky
