Bonnie Jean (Little Sister)
By David Lynn Jones


E                         A      E 
Peter built a truck for a man to drive
       E                         B         E
It’s a pretty good livin’ but it ain’t no life
      E                      A           E
For a farmer’s daughter or a drunk man’s wife
E                         B      A
Peter built a truck for a man to drive
E                         B      A    
Peter built a truck for a man to drive


Well little sister was just 17 
When she left the farm, virgin green
Moved up to Kansas City her school girl dream
But nothin’ ever came easy for Bonnie Jean
Nothin’ ever came easy for Bonnie Jean

Now she fell in love with a truck drivin man
They got married on a hard luck plan
Little babies are somethin’ every good woman needs

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



So he left her with three hungry mouths to feed
He left her with three hungry mouths to feed


Chorus:
     A                      E
Now little sister rolls them eighteen wheels
    B                       E
She knows how that lonesome highway feels
          A                 E 
She got a heart of gold and nerves of steel
E                        B        E 
Little sister rolls them eighteen wheels
E                        B        E
Little sister rolls them eighteen wheels---here she comes now

Sax solo

She’s a-runnin’ down the road from coast to coast
It’s the little things that she misses the most
She’s a mother all day and a trucker all night
Livin’ on coffee and mini-whites
Livin’ on coffee and mini-whites

Now the egg don’t fry and the bacon don’t burn
There’s another curve around every turn
She’s in love with Kenny and Billy and Mac
She’s lost on that highway and she ain’t comin’ back
Lost on that highway and she ain’t comin’ back

Chorus:
