You mark me with a cigarette
Burn on my chest
Just to say "I love you"
They say you could treat me better
But I just can't stand the weather when it rains
I say I love you too

Save my soul
'Cause we're on the road to nowhere
Every stop could be our home
Make me whole
I don't know if we're worth saving
Eighteen wheels on the road
Rain, sleet, heat, or cold
Just tryin' to fill that dirty old billfold

Darlin' I ain't left yet
Still gotta check this long-haul check
Just to pay my lot dues
I could try to treat you better
Give me a chance, this gosh-darn weather
It'll be an hour or two

The travelodge in back room
Sure looks beautiful
When I'm makin' my rounds
And when you're gone and I'm waiting
I'll be useful
I'll make you proud

Save my soul
'Cause we're on the road to nowhere
Every stop could be our home
Make me whole
I don't know if we're worth saving
Eighteen wheels on the road
Rain, sleet, heat, or cold
Just tryin' to fill that dirty old billfold
