We were all wonderin' where Bubba was We hadn't seen his rig for a while The waitress said "he's either married or dead Or maybe he just retired" Then Bubba pulled up in a brand new truck A shiny red Peterbilt With a "Honk If You're Horny" bumpersticker And a naked girl on the grille "Where ya been, Bubba, we thought you was dead" He just grinned and then he said (Chorus): Old truckers never die They just get a new Peterbilt Old truckers never die They just get a new Peterbilt (Instrumental) Well, Bubba bought the farm last Friday night On a curve out on Rubberneck Road He swerved to miss a whole bus full of kids And lost a lot more than his load We all showed up to pay our respects But we were sure surprised To see a Peterbilt casket with a workin' horn And chrome and runnin' lights When the sermon was over and they laid him to rest A waitress choir sang his last request (Chorus): Old truckers never die They just get a new Peterbilt Old truckers never die They just get a new Peterbilt (Bridge): I can see him in Heaven on a highway of light Runnin' wide open, not a scale in sight Surrounded by angels and lookin' so young Singin' from his heart at the top of his lungs (Chorus): Old truckers never die They just get a new Peterbilt Old truckers never die They just get a new Peterbilt
