I was 165 north of Memphis, running a load of freight

When a black and white stopped me for being overweight

He said yank you’d probably do just fine but since you’re

South of the ‘Dixon line

You’re gonna have to sit right here and you’ll have to wait

‘Cause you’re two loads overweight now ’boy, you’re

Two loads overweight

So for now you’re gonna have sit right here and wait

Wire in cash to pay for all my fines and we’ll get you going

Down the line, but for now you’re gonna have to sit right here and wait

So I found me a watering hole there with a girl there named Mary Jo

She was the kind of girl you couldn’t make her sit and wait

She may be crazy and little bit big but boy she’ll fit in the cab of my rig

So you know right then I couldn’t make her sit and wait

‘Cause she two loads overweight now mac, she’s

Two loads overweight,

She’s the kind of girl you couldn't make her sit and wait

She may be crazy and bit of a mess but after three rounds you

Could care less, she got what you need to get your mind back on the road

I’ve been to south of Alabama, and west of Minnesota I traveled by them

Great big lakes,

Carried every kind of load that you’ve ever want carry but I’ve never been

Overweight

So when I pulled up to the station to take care of all my fines

Mary Jo signed me out, you know she was the sheriff’s wife

He said “Boy I hope you learned, you’re gonna get what you deserve

So we better not see you come around here again.”

You know he’s two loads full if it, two loads full of it

Just one more problem that I’m gonna have to deal with

Gonna thank you for your time, but now I’m movin’ on down the line

And you bet your ass you’ll never see me ‘round here again.
