I'm pullin' out of Pittsburgh and I'm rollin' down the eastern seaboard.

I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide.

I've got a lot o' women but I'm not like some other guys.

Honey, you know I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind.

There's a good flame comin' from her smokestack and the smoke's black as coal.

My hometown comin' in sight.
