Tommy T-Bone Hood - All These Years (Ode to Truckers) Lyrics

All these years I spent driving Over the road
All these years, you've been waiting on me to get back home
I was busy driving while you're raising our kids
Seems like I missed it all like my daddy did

All of the kids are grown And now they're gone
Our babies were just babies and now they're having babies of their own
For all the years I've spent Out here haulin' freight
My memories are just mile markers on the interstate

When little man took his first steps or Mandy's fifth birthday
When Jake man hit the home run, I was a thousand miles away
Or the memory of my grandpa taking his last breath
I was on I-40 hauling cattle headed west

All of the kids are grown And now they're gone
Our babies were just babies and now they're having babies of their own
For all the years I've spent Out here haulin' freight
My memories are just mile markers on the interstate

Baby, I know that you love me and I'm barely around
I never meant to leave you lonely or let you down

All of the kids are grown And now they're gone
Our babies were just babies and now they're having babies of their own
For all the years I've spent Out here haulin' freight
My memories are just mile markers on the interstate
Well, our babies may be grown, but for us, it's not too late
It's time to say goodbye to the interstate
