D.J. Memphis Joe

D.J. Memphis Joe - Dave Dudley

Headin' down to Memphis draggin' a heavy load

Cold night wind a blowin'

On a long dark stretch of road

The night had been a long one

The hours were going slow

Started gettin' sleepy so turned on my radio

Hi welcome to the night show

Got a ton of records here to spin

If you're out there traveling on the road

Be careful there my friends

Got news alive at 55

I understand the weatherman says snow

Till six a.m. just be my guest

I'm DJ Memphis Joe

Just rolled on through Brownsville

My rig was runnin' fine

Heard Joe give a warnin'

Icy roads on down the line

Well I better gear her down now

There's a bad curve up ahead

And if by chance I hit that ice

I might wind up dead

Yeah you listen to the night show

For all you truck drivin' men

I got a brand new record here called Diesel No. 10

Now the snow's begun so on your run

Just take it kinda slow

And keep your dial set where it is to DJ Memphis Joe

I can just see Memphis down in the morning light

Hear Joe signin' off now

We made it through another night

But anytime I'm a travelin' down a long dark road

There'll be a station somewhere

With a DJ named of Joe
