Little Liza Jane Lyrics & Tabs by Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer
Little Liza Jane
guitar chords lyrics
when i was just nine days old jumped off my pappy's knee
and i crawled out on the open road, a long-haul trucker for to be
saved my money, bought a rig factory stock and plain
tricked her out give the name, Little Liza, Liza Jane
i said bull dog train, she my ball and chain
chokin' churnin' rubber burnin' Little Liza Jane
now i took to haulin' overloads across the great divide
missions through the rabbit ears, hell-for-leather, do-or-die,
crosswinds clocked at 80 knots, snow upon the ground,
black ice in the hammer lane, man, that don't even slow me down
saying' bull dog train, she my ball and chain
frettin' fussin' diesel guzzlin' Little Liza Jane
smoky at the chicken coop, well he said the road was closed
so i doubled back a mile or so and took this little turn i know
top froze over, bundled out, downgrade ten percent
smoky at the chicken coop, well he said the road was closed
so i doubled back a mile or so and took this little turn i know
top froze over, bundled out, downgrade ten percent
nailed her into boogie and then down that evil road i went
I singin' bull dog train, she my ball and chain
slippin' slidin' skatin' glidin' Little Liza Jane
road so slick i couldn't steer snow too thick to see
runnin' short on shoulder and my nine lives runnin' out on me
sheer cliff risin' to the left, drop off to the right
and nothin' past that guard rail but a thousand feet of endless night
i singin' bull dog train, she my ball and chain
racin' rockin' tight-rope walkin' Little Liza Jane
faster now and faster still, couldn't touch the brakes
so i let Liza have her head and i crossed my heart for goodness sake
but underneath that driven snow alligator bait
chomped a tire, road went left, me and Liza went on straight
and we crashed right through that wooden rail, over the side we went
thirty tons of smoke and chrome and thirty years of bad intent
streakin' like a cannon ball, a comet trail in space
and the stars hung in my window, and the full moon in my mortal face
i singin' bull dog train, she my ball and chain
rippin' roarin' eagle soarin' Little Liza Jane
now Lord i pray forgive me for all the wrongs i've done
for all the bambis i have banged and the stogies i have bummed
but as i stand before you, i swear by smoke and steel
that we sailed down past those chasm walls and never grazed a wheel
because Liza's tires were spinnin' and her cab was cocked just so
that we touched down like a jumbo jet when we hit that valley road below and she
pulled it out like magic on a triple-digit ride
and we made it home ahead of time good luck and trouble on our side
and drivers, when you're weary and you just can't find the trail
if you ask me to reveal the moral of this little tale, i'll say
bull dog train, she my ball and chain
jumpin' jammin' hammer slammin' Little Liza Jane
bull dog train, she my ball and chain
jumpin' jammin' hammer slammin' rippin' roarin' eagle soarin' racin' rockin'
tight-rope walkin'
slippin' slidin' skatin' glidin' frettin' fussin' diesel guzzlin' chokin' churnin'
hellfire burning
Little Liza Little Liza Little Liza Little Liza
