Treadmill Road

I'm running down the road
Running down the "Treadmill Road"
Yea I'm running down the road
I'm Running down the "Treadmill Road"
I ain't goin' nowhere 
Faster than a jumpin' backward toad

Been chasin' my baby
Eva' since the sun come up
Yea I' been chasin' my sweet baby
Eva' since the bu'nin' sun come up
Yea well she ain't on the "Treadmill"
So you can guess my kind o' bad luck

My baby's up on the highway
I'm down on the ol' "Treadmill"
My baby's crusin' up the highway
I'm broke down on the ol' "Treadmill"
I guess she's really goin' places
But I feel like I'm jes' standin' still

You see; my baby used ta love me
She'd dance with me all night long
That's right my baby used ta love me
She'd dance with me all night long
Well I mus'a took a wrong turn
'cause now my sweet baby's long gone

I'm runnin' down the road
I'm runnin' down the "Treadmill Road"
I'm runnin' down the road
I'm runnin' down the "Treadmill Road"
Eva' since my baby lef' me
I' been carryin' such a heave' load

I'm running down the "Treadmill"
My baby's on the highway
She's really goin' places 
Now I ain't gettin' nowhere
Cause I ain't on the highway|
And she's ain't on the "Treadmill"
My baby use'o love me
Now she's nowhe' around

I' gonna get up on the highway 
Get off this ol' "Treadmill" be gone

I' gonna get up on the highway 
Get off this ol' "Treadmill" be gone

I' gonna get up on that highway 
Get up off this ol' "Treadmill" be gone

Mont asked me if I would please add this picture
to this page.  This is my truck being held from rolling
down a STEEP cliff by some THICK brush.  This shot
doesn't show as well how much at an angle my truck is
leaning.
