I,

8L0?! L080

Phantom 309

In the xtyle of
Red Sovine

I was out on the West Coast
tryin' to make a buck
and things didn't work out
I was down on my luck

Got tired of roamin' and
bummin' around
so I started thumbin' back
East toward my hometown

Made a lot of miles the first
two days and I figured
I'd be home in a week

if my luck held out this way

But the third night I got
stranded way out of town
at a cold lonely crossroads
Rain was pourin' down

I was hungry and freezing
Done caught a chill
when the lights of a big semi
topped the hill

Lord, I sure was glad to hear
them air brakes come on
and I climbed in that cab

where I knew it'd be warm

At the wheel sit a big man
He weighed about two-ten
He stuck out his hand
and said with a grin
Big Joe's the name

I asked him why he called
his rig such a name. He said
Son, this old Mack can
put'em all to shame

There ain't a driver or a rig
a-runnin' any line that's seen
nothing but taillights from
Phantom 309

Well, we rode and talked
the better part of the night
when the lights of a truck stop
came in sight

He said, I'm sorry son
This is as far as you go

cause I gotta make a turn
just on up the road

When Joe and his rig
roared out in the night

In nothin' flat,
he was clean out of sight

Well, I went inside
and ordered me a cup

told the waiter Big Joe was
settin' me up

Aw you could-a heard a
pin drop. It got deathly quiet
and the waiter's face turned

kind-a white.

Well, did I say
somethin' wrong I said
with a halfway grin he said
Naw, this happens
every now and then.

Every driver in here
knows Big Joe
But 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
a-coming from town

And there at that crossroads
was the end of the line
for Big Joe and Phantom 309

But, every now and then
some hiker'll come by

and like you,
Big Joe'll give'em a ride

Here, have another cup
and forget about the dime
Keep it as a souvenir
from Big Joe and
Phantom 309
