I got a cute little gal in ev'ry eastern town from Boston to St Lou
There's some that I don't even know, but I'm lookin' forward to
'Cause I like my women ev'rywhere I go
So roll on big wheels, don't you roll so slow

Peggy Ann is a-waitin' in Memphis and Betty Lou in Maine
I got a good ol' gal in Knoxville, but man I forgot her name
But not her figure, I remember that
Yeah, I'm a kiss stealin', a wheelin' dealin', a truck drivin' son of a gun

Well, there goes Joe flyin' low, makin' up his time
But from where I sit, I don't believe you'd say I'm wastin' mine
I'm movin' faster than a Jimmy-8
If you think I'm losin' time, you're runnin' late

I got a steady little baby waitin' back home for me
But there are six more towns to go till I'm back in Tennessee
And six more women at least, I know
Yeah, I'm a kiss stealin', wheelin' dealin', a truck drivin' son of a gun
