Producer: Jay Joyce

[Verse 1]
She drove an '81 Peterbilt 18-wheeler
Jet black with pink mud flaps
It was a mean piece of metal with lightning in the pedal
Thunder comin' out the back
And them boys would chuckle when they saw her buckle
Herself in the captain's seat
But nobody was laughin' when she'd go to passin'
Smilin' at them real sweet

[Chorus]
She is hell on wheels where the road meets the rubber
A real gear jammer, a white line wonder
Yeah, you only get one and I wouldn't want another
'Cause mama was a bad mother trucker
(Bad mother) Bad
(Bad mother)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, she was a bread winner, ain't no stoppin' her
Stayed shot out of a gun
Had me at a truck stop, just north of 40
In her cab on a flagstaff run
I was raised on jerky from here to Albuquerque
Went to school on her ol' CB
She made a name for herself, taught me how to spell
R-E-S-P-E-C-T

[Chorus]
She is hell on wheels where the road meets the rubber
A real gear jammer, a white line wonder
Yeah, you only get one and I wouldn't want another
'Cause mama was a bad mother, bad mother, bad mother
Bad mother trucker, baby (Bad mother)
(Bad mother)
Bad
(Bad mother)
(Bad mother)

[bridge]
She's the reason I rock, the reason I roll
I make my livin' on this road
The reason that smoke stays in the stack
My gone don't wanna go back

[Chorus]
Bad mother, bad mother, bad mother, bad mother, bad mother
Bad mother, bad mother, bad mother, bad mother
Bad mother, bad mother, bad mother trucker, baby
(Bad mother) Bad mother trucker, baby
(Bad mother) Yeah, she's bad
(Bad mother) She's a bad mother trucker
(Bad mother) Bad mother trucker, baby
(Bad mother) She's a bad mother trucker
(Bad mother) She's a bad mother trucker

[Outro]
(Bad mother)
(Bad mother)
(Bad mother)
(Bad mother) She's a bad mother trucker, baby
(Bad mother) She's a bad mother trucker, baby
(Bad mother)

Eric Church

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
