"Fifteen Gears" lyrics

Fifteen Gears

It takes fifteen gears
And fourteen wheels
To satisfy my soul
To take a round trip
To every town
Has always been my goal

Well, I've done knocked down
Quite a few
But I still got some to go
I said, fifteen gears
Fourteen wheels
To satisfy my soul

Now lots of guys take a lot of pride
In knowing how to properly dress
But I never cared for them fancy things
The only one talent I possess

I could never choose the proper wine
To take with them fancy meals
But my light shines when I climb that rig
And mount them fourteen wheels

It takes fifteen gears
Fourteen wheels
To satisfy my soul
To take a round trip
To every town
Has always been my goal

Well, I've done knocked down
Quite a few
But I still got some to go
I said, fifteen gears
Fourteen wheels
To satisfy my soul

Well, I hope when I am laid to rest
And all my trucking's done
I hope everything goes alright
When I make my final run

When them pearly gates swing open wide
I'll jump up and click my heels
I'll swing inside and roll around heaven
On fourteen golden wheels

Fifteen gears
Fourteen wheels
To satisfy my soul
To take a round trip
To every town
Has always been my goal

Well, I've done knocked down
Quite a few
But I still got some to go
I said, fifteen gears
Fourteen wheels
To satisfy my soul

Fifteen gears
Fourteen wheels
To satisfy my soul
