White Freightliner Blues lyrics:
Goin' out on the highway
Gonna listen to them big trucks whine
I'm goin' out on the highway
Gonna listen to them big trucks whine
That white freightliner's
Gonna steal away my mind
It's bad news from Houston
Half of my friends are dying
Well, it's bad news from Houston
Half of my friends are dying
That white freightliner's
Gonna steal away my mind
New Mexico's alright
Some people there will treat you fine
New Mexico's alright
Some people there will treat you fine
That white freightliner's
Gonna steal away my mind
Lord, I'm gonna ramble
Till I get back to where I came
Well, Lord, I'm gonna ramble
Till I get back to where I came
That white freightliner's
Gonna steal away my pain
Goin' out on the highway
Gonna listen to them big trucks whine
Goin' out on the highway
Gonna listen to them big trucks whine
That white freight liner's
Gonna steal away my mind
That white freight liner's
Gonna steal away my mind
Written by Townes Van Zandt

Molly Tuttle official bio:
A gifted acoustic guitarist and banjo player who has also made a name for herself as a songwriter and vocalist, Molly Tuttle rose from playing in her father's bluegrass band to becoming one of the leading lights of modern folk, bluegrass, and Americana before she reached her mid-twenties. An in-demand collaborator with virtuosic flatpicking, clawhammer, and cross-picking guitar skills, she launched a solo career in 2017 with the release of the Rise EP. Tuttle's versatile first full-length effort, When You're Ready, followed in 2019.
Molly Tuttle's father, Jack, was a well-respected bluegrass multi-instrumentalist and instructor who led a family band, the Tuttles, and encouraged his children to share his love of music. Born in 1993, Molly was eight years old when she began playing guitar, and by the time she was 11 she was good enough to play on-stage with her father. She recorded an album with her dad, The Old Apple Tree, when she was 13, and would add banjo and mandolin to her repertoire, though her main focus was still on flatpicking and clawhammer guitar styles. In her late teens, Tuttle was recognized as a rising star; she was awarded merit scholarships to the Berklee College of Music for music and composition, received the Foundation for Bluegrass Music's Hazel Dickens Memorial Scholarship, won the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition at the Merlefest Music Festival, was named Best Female Vocalist and Best Guitar Player by the Northern California Bluegrass Society, and appeared on A Prairie Home Companion, all in a single year, 2012.
