lirik lagu lee conway - phantom 309

i was out on the west coast, tryin’ to make a buck
things didn’t work out, and i was down on my luck
i got tired of roamin’ and bummin’ around
so i started thumbin’ back east towards my hometown

made a lotta miles the first two days
and i figured i’d be home in week, if my luck held out
but, the third night, i got stranded way out of town
at a cold, lonely crossroads, the rain was pourin’ down

i was hungry and freezin’, and went and caught a chill
when the lights of a big semi topped the hill
lord, i was sure glad to hear them airbrakes come on
and i climbed in the cab, where i knew it’d be warm

at the wheel sat a big man, weighed about two hundred and ten
and he stuck out his hand and he said with a grin
big joe’s the name, i told him mine
and he said, the name of my rig is the phantom 309

i asked him why he called his rig such a name
and he said, son, this old mack put them all to shame
ain’t a driver or rig runnin’ any line
that’s seen nothin’ but the tail~lights of the phantom 309

well, we rode and talked the better part of the night
when the lights of a truck stop came in sight
and he said, i’m sorry son, this is far as you go
’cause i gotta make a turn just up the road
well, he tossed me a dime and he pulled her into low
and said, have yourself a cup on big ol’ joe
and then joe and his rig roared out into the night
and in nothin’ flat he was outta sight

well, i went inside and i ordered up a cup
and i told the waiter, big joe set me up
well, you could’ve heard a pin drop, it got deathly quiet
and the waiter’s face turned kinda white

did i say something wrong? i said with a halfway grin
he said, no, this happens every now and then
every driver in here knows big joe
son, let me tell you what happened about ten years ago

at the crossroads tonight, where you flagged him down
there was a busload of kids comin’ home from town
they were right in the middle; big joe topped the hill
it could have been slaughter, but he turned his wheels

well, joe lost control and he went into a skid
and he gave his life to save that buncha kids
and there at the crossroad was the end of the line
for big joe and phantom 309

but every now and then, some hiker will come by
and like you, big joe will give him a ride
here, have another cup and forget about that dime
you can keep that as a souvenir from big joe and the phantom 309
