Prisoner of the Highway |
| Diesel powers 18 wheels to rollin' |
| As I pull it on to the Interstate. |
| I’ve got thirteen hours to make my destination |
| And I don’t want to stop to check my weight |
| There won’t be no sleep for me tonight |
| No, I’ve got to be hittin' Tulsa by first morning light. |
| I’m a prisoner of the highway |
| Driven on by my restless soul |
| Call me a prisoner of the highway |
| Prison by the freedom of the road. |
| I’ve run freight out of Wheeling, West Virgina |
| And US Steel from Memphis |
| I’ve rode tobacco out of the Carolina’s |
| California wines into Burmingham |
| Some people work just to survive, yeah |
| But up here in this cab that’s when I’m most alive. |
| I’m a prisoner of the highway |
| Driven on by my restless soul |
| Call me a prisoner of the highway |
| Prison by the freedom of the road. |
| Got a wife living back in Tennessee |
| And she tries to understand the way I feel |
| I could give my hands to another line of work |
| But my heart would always be behind the wheel. |
| Call me a prisoner of the highway |
| Driven on by my restless soul |
| I’m a prisoner of the highway |
| Prison by the freedom of the road. |
| Don’t you know I’m a prisoner of the highway |
| Driven on by my restless soul |
| Call me a prisoner of the highway |
| Prison by the freedom of the road… |
