Some call it the ribbon
some say the white line
i say truckstop living
well, it suits me fine
every day of the week
every day of the week
we heard some others feelers talking
i think it's going to be a good fight
tonight the radio is rocking
i'm going to hear my favorite song
if it takes all night
if it takes all night
i'm going to wash my favorite shirt
in downtown marseilles
it's got the same old dirt
from up on galais
how many days and weeks?
how many days and weeks?
now every job it is important
but still sometimes the money's right
i saw the ghost of Johnny Horton
he said we're going to make el paso
if it takes all night
if it takes all night
i lost my favorite cook
he left little siam
for many years i looked
he said here i am
every day of the week
every day of the week
some got to go and see their mama
some got to play a show tonight
i got to go and see my baby
when next i sleep i'll be with her
if it takes all night
if it takes all night.
