Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Rolling down the highway,
with a load heavy and wide.
I grab the CB Mic,
Hey, what’s the scales,
Doin on my side?
Driver comes back with,
Checking the tension on the suspension!
My load a little over the limit,
Gonna get some attention!
As I pull up on the scale,
I roll slowly across!
Got this paper in my hand,
And on the cell with the BIG BOSS!
(Chorus)
I got the weight station blues,
Feel that burden in my soul,
Got a ticket in my pocket,
it’s just takin’ its toll.
The road ain’t wide and free,
Now I’m stuck in this mess,
With the weight station blues,
Lord, That’s truckin I guess!
(Verse 2)
Coming up on another chicken coop,
Open reads the sign!
My weight and axles good,
Not bustin me this time!
Pullin on the scale slowly,
A smile upon my happy face.
A voice comes over the intercom,
Driver go and find a parking space!
(Chorus)
I got the weight station blues,
Feel that burden in my soul,
Got a ticket in my pocket,
it’s just takin’ its toll.
The road ain’t wide and free,
Now I’m stuck in this mess,
With the weight station blues,
Lord, That’s truckin I guess!
(Bridge)
When scales are closed,
In need of a little break.
Trooper wakes me up,
With a fine for my mistake,
No parking sign…
Anytime, no matter why!
Find somewhere else to park,
Don’t cha even try!
Chorus)
I got the weight station blues,
Feel that burden in my soul,
Got a ticket in my pocket,
it’s just takin’ its toll.
The road ain’t wide and free,
Now I’m stuck in this mess,
With the weight station blues,
Lord, That’s truckin I guess!
(Outro)
He says, I need inspected,
Put me over the pit!
Starting to not like this job,
Think I just might need to quit!
But, I know I’ll ride down the road again,
Right to another scale.
Gonna keep my truck and weight in good shape,
Keep myself outta jail!
So now you’ve heard the news,
Don’t get the Weigh Station Blues!
