Wear Out The Turnpike
     Words and Music by Jim Croce and Ingrid Croce

     There's ice and snow on the northern roads
     And the Jersey Pike is closed
     Have to go and do some drivin' tonight
     They say I'd be a fool if I would ride those icy roads
     But a little storm ain't stoppin' me tonight

     CHORUS:

     I'm gonna wear out the turnpike
     Rack up those miles
     Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile
     'Cause she's in Oklahoma and
     I'm up in Maine
     So diesel sing a song that will bring me home again

     There's a red light turnin' behind me
     There's a trooper on my tail
     I can tell I won't get to New York town on time
     And if he get's me on the scale
     I'm gonna have to tell a tale or take a fine

     (Repeat Chorus)

     With the snow against my windshield
     I will run on through the night
     There's not stoppin' me once I hit the road
     Cause the turnpike's like my second home
     And I know it like my hand
     So diesel sing a song that'll bring me home again

     (Repeat Chorus)
