Lyrics:
You mark me with a cigarette
Burn on my chest
Just to say
I love you
They say you could treat me better
But I just can't stand the weather
When it rains
I say I love you, too
Save my soul
Cause we're on the road to nowhere
Every stop could be our home
Make me whole
I don't know if we're worth saving
Eighteen wheels on the road
Rain, sleet, heat, or cold
Just trying to fill that dirty old billfold
Darling I ain't left yet
Still gotta cash this long haul check
Just to pay my lot dues
I could try to treat you better
Gimme a chance, this gosh darn weather
It'll be an hour or two
The travel ad in the back room
Sure looks beautiful when I'm making my rounds
And when you're gone and I'm waiting
I'll be useful. I'll make you proud
Save my soul
Cause we're on the road to nowhere
Every stop could be our home
Make me whole
I don't know if we're worth saving
Eighteen wheels on the road
Rain, sleet, heat, or cold
Just trying to fill that dirty old billfold

This song got me reminiscing about my rough years as a truck driver that I never had.
Lmfao
The road not taken....
check out Trucker Speed, that'll do it too
Shout-out to the TH-cam algorithm for bringing me here
Ong
Me too
For sure!!
Hell yeah
So true, and his voice and emotion in his music hits you.
Songs born in a boardroom will never beat those written through lived experience.
Country music ain't dead no more!
Finally!!!!!!!!!!! Authenticity, talent, originality, new sound and real songwriting... real musician. Love it.
This is just the second song I've heard. I'm sold. This man is a star.
I’ll never get over this man!! Did security for him at the Madonna Inn and spoke to him afterwards and he is incredible! Such a sweet man, this song completely changed my way of seeing country music and i’ll forever thank him for that.
So you're from California? Did you get to hear him perform?
@@tchrisou812 Yess i drove 2 and a half hours to do security for him 🖤 I heard him perform but i was way in the back guarding the bathrooms lol but he was at the tshirt stand afterwards talking to fans and thats when i talked to him for a bit. This was one of the last songs he played before closing with “Sexy after dark”
@@DontDoNovacane I am jealous that you got paid to listen live, how did you get the gig? What's he like? His songs feel like they come from a place of knowing not just storytelling, truly authentic, at least to me.
what were you gonna secure ? are we talking actual security or something more like a personal assistant for the day
@@AaronSwift-yd1es Basically me and a team of others just checked the people that went into the concert he was opening for. I was in charge of bags and checking people for a safe event then i stood around to make sure no bs happened afterwards
I hope this dude Joshua is reading his comments so he knows what a badass he is. Coming across his videos today reminds me of the first time I ever saw an El Camino.
Oh my gosh! That's it!!! That's exactly how it feels ❤
Same, just not an El Camino. 😅
Don’t know what brought your music to me but DON’T EVER STOP singing and playing these old country cowboy songs. You make me actually feel something when you play. Your dang “grampa song” about dumpster diving actually gave me a tea (Grampas should never die). Keep doing what you do Joshua, and thank you.
took the words out of my mouth. WE NEED YOU!!!
As a trucker going through a rough little patch mentally not seeing my daughter for weeks sometimes months at a time but bringing home enough money to buy her the world very refreshing to hear this beautiful voice especially after seeing a lot lizard about 5 minutes ago 😂
Another rough night after listening to his songs all day long
Guys like him need the exposure. Got my support. 💯👍
Now that's a damn crazy good voice right there young man ❤
One of my favorite songs these days… from a fan in Norway 🇳🇴 🇺🇸🎶
Hillbilly blues traveler of 2024 love it sing that HOOK
WELL… DAMN HOSS! YOU GOT MY SUB. GOBBLESS!
Man you are a serious lyricist.. There's dramatic tension, word play, narrative...Please don't quit because you deserve recognition.
How are you not more famous?! Your voice is amazing
People sadly judge by appearance.
The devil controls the industry
Real country music. So glad I found this
This guy is a new favorite.
Same
Buddy the Andels Surrounding you are happy bringing joy and true music to people. please keep it up you will get your big break one day half the so called made musician fake pop stars wish they could write a heartfelt song like this!
First time hearing your voice … blessed , thank you …
Find your way to all those beautiful souls, you are one of them
I agree 👍 💯 😊
Again, Truly remarkable! For someone so young to be able to interpret these experiences thru Love’s lenses.
I rarely write comments; I do every so often- when I feel a soul so incredibly remarkable in every way… 🏆 first place winner you are for a soul so enriched by Love’s Truth 🙏
You play some real Shit. Thank you
I saw him open for Marcus King last year, and he was super good! Happy to see he's having some success. He has a very good voice.
There’s an essence of Magdalena in your song here… believe in yourself because it symbolizes something even more then that witnessed event at the truck stop… is what I think 🙏
Son, you have the voice of an angel. Glad I found your channel!
YOUR AN OLD SOUL.. I WATCHED MY CHILDREN HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH MY WIFES FATHER. YOU WERE BLESSED.
didn't know i'd enjoy country music, but this one for sure i did
Bravo. Stellar playing, vocals, and performance. Respect.
He's got a gravelly inflection in his voice reminiscent of Johnny Cash. I normally don't like country but the story behind the lyrics done melted my heart. Absolute banger. 💯
My dog used to run off the 3am Lizards on my Truck step. He’s jump at the widow from behind the truck curtain. 🤠👊🏼🤣
I've said it to myself many times, and I want to say it here too: thank you for this song, JRW. Beautiful is too limiting of a word. My first husband drove long haul and I lived in the truck for a little less than a year. That was so long ago and it was a painful time so I've distanced myself from the memories, more than I realized. What I do remember are the truck stops. Strange moments passing through the driver door, ("I don't bite"). Watching the comings and goings from the back lot while waiting for a load.
Brautiful and very original.
PURE TALENT!!! Bad Ass Song Brother!!🇺🇸
Outstanding
I found you somehow and thank you you-tube! Your voice, Your vibe, your songs. That rad turquise ring!!??....can't wait to see you live somewhere someday ❤Rock on!!
Finally TH-cam figured out what I like! Proof is that at 69 I'm still learning and Joshua here is my teacher. You keep it going Joshua, love your sound.
Great song, talented man.
This is "real" Country Music folks.
Keep Rocking Brotherrr!!
I was in the Army with a fellow we called "Bull" who told all of us his mother was a "Lot Lizard" 🦎 ❤
Incredible. You’re going to be a star man!
Saw JRW with Charley Crockett about two years ago. An amazing talent with great songwriting. Don't sleep 'merica!
Subbed btw....this ain't no hobo stop or just a hobby.... remember that and stay true.❣️

I would start hitchiking again, just to take this guy on a trip across the country, just to see what kind of art would come of it... the trip itself would be art... it would be effected a LOT by his music... hitchiking with a bard is always fun! I spent 12 years hitchiking.. but havent the last 8 years or something

Well, that was hauntingly beautiful.
That's genuinely the best way to describe it

Love this song. Thank you
Real country. So nice to hear a country tune without rap in it.
Pretty sure that's a guild D-28. Great guitar.
I'm just a garden-variety lizard.
Keep rocking man. Praise be to humans and their wild experiences.
