Right as rain.

Sonny's here.

I guess we can hit it.

You're late.

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

I may be late, but I'm always on time.

- Hey, Wes. [Laughs]

- Hey, Earl.

- Who's that?

- He's drivin'.

- Since when?

- Since an hour ago.

- From the top of what?

You make him seem like

he's goddamned Moses.

- Don't you take the Lord's name in vain.

- I'm goddamned sorry.

You gonna be sorry. If you don't like

it, Sonny, you can get out right now.

What I don't like is you, him or anybody else

changing the plans every time I turn around.

That's what I don't like.

- I'm Sonny.

Easy, boy.

Toilets. Can you believe it?

Five-gallon flush.

they say goin' south (music)

(music) Left at a truck stop

I never knew my mother (music)

(music) And ever since

the highway's been my home (music)

(music) Like a restless wind

I keep movin' on and I (music)

(music) Can't seem to stay

in one place too long (music)

(music) I'm a road man (music)

(music) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (music)

Over there,

Down there's your clutch,

[Sighs]

[Engine Shudders, Stalls]

I thought

First time.

This driver comin' down,

does that change things?

You're not plannin' on havin' kids,

are ya, Junior?

I don't know.

Find the right woman, maybe.

- Why? - 'Cause you suffer

from a sorry-ass lack of balls.

(music) Well, the midnight headlights

blinds you on a rainy night (music)

(music) Steep grade up ahead

Slow me down, makin' no time (music)

(music) But I gotta keep rollin' (music)

(music) Those windshield wipers

slappin' out a tempo (music)

(music) Keepin' perfect rhythm

with the song on the radio (music)

(music) Yeah, I gotta keep rollin' (music)
