A B-side reject from the "Who Are The Detholz!?" era that became a running band joke for years afterward. Performed live only once at Double Door in Chicago to a decidedly dubious response, ~2002.
lyrics
Truckin’ is something
In a Time-Traveling Peterbilt Semi
Mouth full of muck
Is keepin’ me up
The past is red in my eye
Wake me up
From the place I come from
Parking lot
Dregs and the drabs
Asleep in the cabs
A lonesome looping routine
“Thanks a lot.”
Glow of the grease
On axles and eats
The waitress, surly and mean
Wake me up
From the place I come from
T.T. Peterbilt Semi!
Stop yawning
‘Cause we’re rolling
Into the future
Space and time
Invisible freeway
Check out the scenery:
Before and Now and Real Soon
Patsy Cline
“Falling to Pieces”
Pipes through the speakers
Hum along to the tune
Waking up
From the place I came from
Read the floating neon sign
“You Are Leaving The Past Behind!”
In a Peterbilt Semi!
Time-Traveling Peterbilt Semi
Stop yawning
‘Cause we’re rolling
Into the future…
Jim from Detholz and Shelby from Frodus / The Cassettes this time go film-noir on a tribute to the Washington, D.C. metro system! Waiting has never sounded so sweet! Detholz!
