Bonnie Jean (Little Sister)
by David Lynn Jones
Album: Hard Times on Easy Street (1980)

Peter bilt a truck for a man to drive
It’s a pretty good livin’ but it ain’t no life
For a farmer’s daughter or a drunk man’s wife
Peter bilt a truck for a man to drive
Peter bilt a truck for a man to drive

Well, little sister was justa’ seventeen
When she left the farm, a virgin dream
Moved up to Kansas City with her school girl dream
But nothin’ ever came easy to Bonnie Jean
Nothin’ ever came easy to Bonnie Jean

Now she fell in love with a truck drivin’ man
And they got married on a hard luck plan
Little babies are something every good woman needs
So he left her with three hungry mouths to feed
He left her with three hungry mouths to feed

Now little sister rolls them eighteen wheels
She knows how that lonesome highway feels
She’s got a heart of gold and nerves of steel
Little sister rolls them eighteen wheels
Little sister rolls them eighteen wheels

Here she comes, now!

She’s runnin’ out of road from coast to coast
It’s the little things that she misses the most
She’s a mother all day and a trucker all night
Livin’ on coffee and mini wipes
Livin’ on coffee and mini wipes

Now the eggs don’t fry and the bacon don’t burn
There’s a little curve around every turn
She’s in love with a Kenny, and a Jimmy and a Mac
She’s lost on a highway and she ain’t comin’ back
Lost on a highway and she ain’t comin’ back

‘Cause little sister rolls them eighteen wheels
She knows how that lonesome highway feels
She’s got a heart of gold and nerves of steel
Little sister rolls them eighteen wheels
Little sister rolls them eighteen wheels

Yeah, I said, little sister rolls them eighteen wheels
She knows how that lonesome highway feels
She’s got a heart of gold and nerves of steel
Little sister rolls them eighteen wheels
Little sister rolls them eighteen wheels

Peter bilt a truck for a man to drive
It’s a pretty good livin’ but it ain’t no life
For a farmer’s daughter or a drunk man’s wife
Peter bilt a truck for a man to drive
Peter bilt a truck for a man to drive
Peter bilt a truck for a man to drive
Peter bilt a truck for a man to drive!
