Tombstone Every Mile - Dick Curless cover by Jeff Cooper Martin OM Negative

Hope this helps....

All you big and burly men who roll the trucks along Better listen, you'll be thankful when you hear my song You have really got it made, if you're haulin' goods Any place on earth but those Hainesville Woods
[CHOURS]
It's a stretch of road up north in Maine That's never, ever, ever seen a smile If they buried all the truckers lost in them Woods There'd be a tombstone every mile Count 'em off, there'd be a tombstone every mile

When you're loaded with potatoes and you're headed down
You've gotta drive the Woods to get to Boston town When it's winter up in Maine, better check it over twice That Hainesville road is just a ribbon of ice

[CHOURS]

When you're talkin' to a trucker that's been haulin' goods
Down that stretch of road in Maine they call the Hainesville Woods He'll tell you that dying and goin' down below Won't be half as bad as driving on that road of ice and snow

[CHOURS]

Here's another one for the truckers. Dick Curless did this Dan Fulkerson song the best IMHO and we played the heck out of the 45 when it first came out. I think I was doing trips with my Dad in his Diamond T at the time.

You did an amazing cover, here. Thanks for transporting me back to my childhood, listening to this song with my old man 30 years ago. Lots of Dick Curless, Merle Haggard, Red Sovine, Sawyer Brown, Dave Dudley..... this song made me feel like being on the road. Was the first on an old tape that we had and the first song I heard on the road. Amazing job. May I download this and put it on my ipod? I think I like your version better than the original.

Hope you're feeling better, man. Can't keep producing that fantastic music if you're ill. You ever thought of doing a cover of Nitro Express?

[MrNormsHGW]
