I left Seattle and I was runnin' late It was rainin' rainin' rainin' cats and dogs Well that road was slick and full of little tricks Like a walkin' on a slick hickory log I had five axles and a white Mustang I was pullin' seventy thousands on behind As I rolled her out of town to turn Portland around I built a fire and I let her unwind Blindin' lights and rainy nights, jack knife Well I made that mountain, went over the top I had'er rolled down all the way I went into a curve that took a lotta nerve As I felt that mountain sway As that tandem shattered then settled On down, I heard an air hold snap Well there was no doubt, I had to ride her on out Or let her jack knife in my lap Blindin' lights and rainy nights jack knife There's a lot of operators Who can tell you how a runaway rig can kill So I said me a prayer and then I hit the air And let her jack knife off of that hill Well I crawled out of that pile of junk Then I walked away with a smile Yeah I got out with my life, but a mean jack knife Put me a walkin' for a while Blindin' lights and rainy nights jack knife
