lirik lagu terry fell - coffee jim, the trucker
let me tell you about a truck driver i knew
a long~run hauler, and a good one too
till somethin’~or~other started monkeyin’ with the boy’s mind
he was takin’ these things to keep him awake
and he’d got ahold of somethin’ he couldn’t shake
coffee jim didn’t know where he was half the time
never seemed to have any appetite
he’d just drink black coffee day and night
‘course, that’s why they called him coffee jim
he’d pull into a truck stop and get him one
and then right before he was rеady to run
he’d order him a bunch of ’em, and pay for cups to go
had a rеal spooky look about this face
and a name for takin’ loads to the wrong place
well, n0body’d give coffee jim anything to haul
but ol’ jim wasn’t about to give his drivin’ up
so he just kept pullin’ that empty truck
back and forth across the usa
he’d gear down low when he’d come to grade
pull into the scales, get his truck weighed
get on his c.b. now and then, and check on smokey
six months of this, and jim had nothin’ left
but one day sorta came to himself
sittin’ in a produce terminal out in la
some dockhands, a~figurin’ ol’ jim was broke
just thought they’d ask him as a joke
if he’d haul a load of dates to hawai’i
ol’ jim nearly went right out of his mind
he says, i’ll go anywhere, anytime, man
you just load ’em up, and ol’ jim~boy’s gone
jim found him a little coffee~stand
he took somethin’~or~other out of his hand
rinsed ‘er down with a swig of black coffee
but while he was gone, ‘steada loadin’ dates
they loaded his truck up with empty crates
when jim got back, they’d already locked the door
ol’ jim standin’ there with coffee in hand
said, looka here, fellas, i’m a businessman
now how do i get paid for this here load?
they said it’s all figured out by the sack, jim
you’ll get paid when you come back
jim lit him a marlboro and headed west
people that saw him said he had no fear
just sailed off the end of that ocean pier
slowly disappeared beneath the foam
they sent two divers down for jim
but they came back without him
said, coffee jim must’ve made one heck of a jump
two days went by, things were lookin’ grim
but the telephone rang––it was coffee jim
says, i’m dialing you direct from honolulu
y’know, it rained like the devil on me all the way
but i’ll be back friday to get my pay
hey, you boys be thinkin’ of somethin’ else for me to do, hear?
