My uncle Don was a career truck driver, piloting a big rig all across the country for decades. During some of those years, my aunt would hit the road with him and they would take turns manning the 18-wheeler through most of the states of the U.S. Between the two of them, they have many cool stories from the road.
Inspired from a childhood experience of listening to Heywood Banks sing his tune 18 Wheels on the Bob & Tom Show, I wrote this tune — counting down from 18 as a way of saying “I’m coming home, darlin’. Gonna hang these keys up for awhile and be with you” — an homage to the lovable, gritty man that my uncle Don is and the tender, kind angel that my aunt Alice is.
lyrics
18 wheeler, without a trailer
17 minutes past the hour
16 miles to our front door
And then I'll hang these keys up for awhile
15 years since we settled down
14 of them spent on the road
13 year old baby girl
Just aching to get out on her own
I’m coming home
The miles keep rolling on the dashboard
I’m coming home
I watch the second hand turn slowly
around the face of the clock
I’m coming home
I count the days, I count the hours
Until I'm finally with the one I love
12 sunflowers on the passenger’s seat
Eleven year California wine
I’m shifting down through ten gears
As I pass the city limit sign
I’m coming home
The miles keep rolling on the dashboard
I’m coming home
I watch the second hand turn slowly
around the face of the clock
I’m coming home
I count the days, I count the hours
Until I'm finally with the one I love
Exit Texas Highway 9
The 8-track playing Fleetwood Mac’s
Seven Wonders
There’s all of these numbers
It’s like I'm looking out there for a sign
Telling me that it’s time
I come home to you
I come home to you
Six cold beers, five o'clock news
Four more smokes left in the pack
Three square meals with two sweethearts
I'm one lucky man who's glad to be back
I’m coming home
The miles keep rolling on the dashboard
I’m coming home
I watch the second hand turn slowly
around the face of the clock
I’m coming home
I count the days, I count the hours
Until I'm finally with the one I love

The song Shelli speaks to my heart, the story just tears me down and the voice builds me back up. A beautiful album which encapsulates SIAD!!! coachshipley

Because she’s the best musician I know! I know her dad, who in my opinion was the best musician I knew until Abbie came along. If you know music she’s by far the most wonderful musician around. You need to hear her music.you will not be disappointed. uncleguy
Following a stressful political adventure, the Texas musician returns with an impressive showcase of his American primitive finger-picked guitar style. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 29, 2021
