White Freight Liner Blues by Townes Van Zandt
White Freight Liner Blues
Just to be sure, I just now played to Townes' 'White Freight Liner Blues' from his 'The
Session' album (which is awesome w/fiddle n banjo n bass n piano!) This is how I learned it:
F
I'm goin' out on the highway
C7
listen to them big trucks whine
F
I'm goin out on the highway
C7
listen to them big trucks whine
G
Ah, white freight liner
F C
won't you steal away my mind
Well, New Mexico ain't bad, Lord
and people here they treat you kind
Ah, New Mexico ain't bad, Lord
and people here they treat you kind
Ah, white freight liner
won't you steal away my mind
Well, it's bad news from Houston
half my friends are dying
Well, it's bad news from Houston
half my friends are dying
White freight liner
won't you steal away my mind
Lordy Lord, I'm gonna ramble
till I get back to where I came
Oh, Lord, I'm gonna ramble
till I get back to where I came
That white freight liner's
gonna haul away my brain
I'm goin' out on the highway
listen to them big trucks whine
I'm goin' out on the highway
listen to them big trucks whine
Ah white freight liner
won't you steal away my mind
