Truck driver leaves   And his wife falls to her knees   She drinks vodka, takes valium,   And watches TV   And he takes whites and tries to fight   White line fever      She stays in bed for a week, then tries   To hang herself with a dirty sheet   And he is somewhere in North Dakota   Getting head from a truck stop hooker   And he takes whites and tries to fight   White line fever      All the alcoholics at the center see   As her sister drops her off   And then her sister leaves   And she chews on her nails   And sits in her plastic seat   And he never calls home   And he's never called home   He never calls home   And he's never called home   He takes whites and tries to fight   White line fever
