Big Bertha, The Truck Driving Queen – Gary Stewart
By
I was ridin’ my thumb out across the States When a truck pulled up and hit them big air brakes Right outside of Abilene I met Big Bertha the truck driving queen
She shook my hand put her gloves back on Jumped on them gears like a dog on a bone With a wad of chew tobacco bulgin’ in her mouth She grabbed a handful of wheel whipped that big truck South
Oh, big Bertha Bertha the truck driving queen Oh, big Bertha Bertha the truck driving queen
At eighty miles an hour I was really gettin’ scared It’s hard to believe but she was still grabbin’ gears Speed-o-metter read a hundred and three She missed the stick and grabbed my knee
Well, I closed my eyes afraid to look Prayin’ for the minute I’d climb outta that truck She led out a howl said lookee here Shoog I’m gonna knock the ears off that dog on the hood
Oh, big Bertha Bertha the truck driving queen Oh, big Bertha Bertha the truck driving queen
She had one arm up against my chin She showed so hard she cut off my wind She said little feller I’m lookin’ for a man And I’m gonna hit him anyway that I can
Then the truck gotta spittin’ and it came to a stop I jumped to the ground started yellin’ for a cop I wanted him to save me from the lovin’ charms Of this man-sized woman with man-sized arms
Oh, big Bertha Bertha the truck driving queen Oh, big Bertha Bertha the truck driving queen Oh, big Bertha Bertha the truck driving queen
