The House That Peterbilt Lyrics
When I talk talk on the C.B. yeah I scare men.
My my tire knockers rock the parking lot quite a lot yeah.
Rolled along 40 and roared down 10,
Released my cargo around the Big Bend.
I always take my time,
A maverick moonminer sipping sunshine.
Hauled ass to Memphis, I spoke to the Pharoah.
He told me his dreams, I counted the sparrows.
Steve McQueen's got nothing on me,
I take you back west of Pleiades.
If you want someone to talk to,
Well I'm your man.
I've seen it all,
And I know where you live.
High time honey, hell yeah, watcha know, I'm back again, yeah.
Roll Roll down highways with a vengeance, yeah.
I never ever sweated for the fortune and fame game.
Nevertheless, I'm flying down the left lane.
I always pay my dues,
So sit your ass down, and I'll show you how they used to.
If you want someone to talk to,
Well I'm your man.
I've seen it all,
And I know where you live.
A preacher, a trucker, a highroller,
A holy roller preacher rolling trucker.
A preacher, a trucker, a highroller,
A holy roller preacher rolling trucker.
My my tire knockers rock the parking lot quite a lot yeah.
Rolled along 40 and roared down 10,
Released my cargo around the Big Bend.
I always take my time,
A maverick moonminer sipping sunshine.
Hauled ass to Memphis, I spoke to the Pharoah.
He told me his dreams, I counted the sparrows.
Steve McQueen's got nothing on me,
I take you back west of Pleiades.
Well I'm your man.
I've seen it all,
And I know where you live.
Roll Roll down highways with a vengeance, yeah.
I never ever sweated for the fortune and fame game.
Nevertheless, I'm flying down the left lane.
I always pay my dues,
So sit your ass down, and I'll show you how they used to.
Well I'm your man.
I've seen it all,
And I know where you live.
A holy roller preacher rolling trucker.
A preacher, a trucker, a highroller,
A holy roller preacher rolling trucker.

Awesome imagery!! Could you imagine turning on your CB and hearing this guy preaching??
I think this song is just kinda a redux of all those cheesy trucker songs from the seventies like "Convoy" and "East Bound and Down."
Also, the Sun, Moon, and Seven Stars (the pleiades) are a very basic part of Masonic symbolism ( which explains the lines "A maverick moonminer sipping sunshine" and "I'll take ya back, west of Pleiades.". And we all know how Neil loves to mention Freemasons and all the other secret societies.
Great song! Can't even think what this song could possibly be about, they done an awesome live version of this when i saw them.
Truckin' hahahaha
the last line sums up the song pretty well
but i think he's in outerspace
I saw them at the end of 08, best show i've been to. This is the song I remember most
Eyy, in Sweden? på Klubben? cuz I did too. ;)

The pun in the title, in case that escaped anyone, is that Peterbilt is a brand of big rig, and 'The House that (Saint) Peter Built' is Christianity.
No one has mentioned the double meaning of The House That Peterbilt. It is perhaps the most iconic brand of tractor-trailer in the U.S. and also the Catholic church could also be considered the house that Saint Peter built. Memphis mentioned can be both Egypt and Tennessee. I love these lyrics
