All you big and burley men who roll them trucks along

                                                                          G7

Better listen, you'll be thankful when you hear my song

                  C                                            F

You have really got it made if you're hauling goods

C                                                  G7                  C

Any place on earth but those Haynesville Woods

C                                         F

It's a stretch of road up north in Maine

            C                                       G7

That's never ever ever seen a smile

              C                                       F

If they buried all them truckers lost in them woods

                      C                   G7        C                      F                              C                 G7         G

There'd be a tombstone every mile     Count em off. There'd be a tombstone every mile

                    C

When your loaded with potatoes and your headed down

                                                                 G7

You gotta drive the woods to get to Boston town

                  C                                            F

When it's winter up in Maine better check it over twice

          C                                            G7               C

That Haynesville Road is just a ribbon of ice

C                                       F

It's a stretch of road up north in Maine

When you're talkin to a trucker that's been haulin goods

                                                                                      G7

Down that stretch of road in Maine they call the Haynesville Woods

          C                                    F

He'll tell you that dyin and going down below

          C                              F

It's a stretch of road up north in Maine
