  • Blue Freightliner, do you whine when you roll?
    Do the miles that lay before you, fill them long and lonesome holes?
    A line, a line in the highway
    And a road to call a home
    Ah, blue freightliner, don't you wish you had
    A baby to call your own?

    She said she grew up in Memphis
    Where the people are friendly and kind
    She said she's got
    A heart that's warm
    And she likes to take her time
    But here I am on the line again, and where in the world is she?
    I guess she likes a travelin' man, cause a travelin' man'll leave

    Blue Freightliner, do you whine when you roll?
    Do the miles that lay before you, fill them long and lonesome holes?
    A line, a line in the highway
    And a road to call a home
    Ah, blue freightliner, don't you wish you had
    A baby to call your own?

    How do you rest, when that road goes on?
    How do you sleep, when you're traveling all alone?

    Oh, Highway 5 is a long ride, far away on the western coast
    Bakersfield to Vegas, with my high uncovered load
    Somebody says it's a short ride, and somebody says it's long
    Not a friendly face in the crowded streets, but my tires are humming along

    Blue Freightliner, do you whine when you roll?
    Do the miles that lay before you, fill them long and lonesome holes?
    A line, a line in the highway
    And a road to call a home
    Ah, blue freightliner, don't you wish you had
    A baby to call your own? Writer/s: Luke Bell
