From the recording Songs Of Old Montgomery
Lyrics
BREAKER ONE NINE
Words and Music by John Cannon
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 experience
Breaker one nine I've got the blues
One more thing,
