What Drives You

Boxes And Blankets

Well I hitch up trailers and I sweep out trucks
Those big yellow rentals you see all the time
All day folks come in here their roots all pulled up
I’ve got to ask where don’t need to know why

They come in here hopeful they come in here hurt
I’ve seen ‘em happy and hateful and all in between
Most don’t even notice the name on my shirt
Just say how many boxes and blankets they need

So pack ‘em up move ‘em out oh hit the highway
Goodbye and good luck out there on the road
When your life’s loaded up out in the driveway
Remember what boxes and blankets won’t hold

They’re looking for answers somewhere in the distance
Leaving their troubles, chasing their dreams
They take what they’ve got and run after what’s missing
But all that I care is these trucks come back clean

So pack ‘em up move ‘em out oh hit the highway
Goodbye and good luck out there on the road
When your life’s loaded up out in the driveway
Remember what boxes and blankets won’t hold

‘Cause I’ve hooked up two-wheelers to rusted out Chevy’s
For folks who would shake my hand, tip me, and smile
But there’s some with two semis who barely look at me
They still think the world owes them unlimited miles

So pack ‘em up move ‘em out oh hit the highway
Goodbye and good luck out there on the road
When your life’s loaded up out in the driveway
Remember what boxes and blankets won’t hold
Yeah remember what boxes and blankets won’t hold
‘Cause there’s somethings that boxes and blankets won’t hold
