From the recording Breaker One Nine
Lyrics
BREAKER ONE NINE
Words and Music by John Cannon
Breaker on nine I need assistance
Breaker one nine I need your experience
Eighteen wheels rollin' heavy, I'm on the road
Been waiting all night long to get my load
Been thinking of the letter I received yesterday
She said she took the children and moved away
Breaker on nine I need assistance
Breaker one nine I need your experience
She says I'm never home, she can't stand the loneliness
and that a man out on the road will seek another's touch
Well I admit down to the bone, I felt the emptiness
So I shared a drink but nothing more, I love her much too much
Breaker on nine I need assistance
Breaker one nine I know you've got experience
I was wet behind the ears on our wedding day
So I trucked on through the years doing the best I could
I know that some of you out there have traveled down this road
If you have the words I needs please put them on the air
Breaker on nine I need assistance
Breaker one nine I know you've got
Breaker one nine I've got the blues
