There's a stretch of highway on interstate 24 betweenNashville and chattanoogaThat's claimed many trucker's lifeAnd your life is in your handswhen you start down that long steep gradeOn monteagle mountainI just rolled out of nashville in my big rig headin' southMy eyes are on fire feels like cotton in my mouthMy whole body's achin' but I got to make them big wheels rollI got to be in florida by tomorrow morning with a full heavy loadI got to get passed atlanta as soon as I can tonightI got to try to dodge the scales and stay out of smoky's sightBut there's one big thing standin' like a nightmare in my wayI got to top monteagle mountain a little bit later todayGoin' down monteagle mountain on I-24It's hell for a trucker when the decil's at your doorHe'll tempt you and tell you come on let her rollCause the mountain wants your rig and trucker I want your soulWhen I started down monteagle the brakes just wouldn't holdI knew I was in trouble and bout to lose controlThe runaway ramp was waitin' I saw the warnin' signI said lord help me make it have mercy on this soul of mineWell I ploughed into that runaway ramp andI could feel that bigh truck groanMy life flashed right before my eyes and for a minuteI thought I was goneBut when the smoke cleared I thanked god that I was still aliveCause when there's a runaway on monteaglesome truckers don't surviveGoin' down monteagle mountain...Yeah many a good man had lost his lifeOn monteagle mountain it's a long steep gradeMany a good hard workin' boy goneover the side watch out for monteagle
