{diesel engine ignition} {low rumbling
dual exhaust} {clean
chicken-pickin electric guitar riff} {steady mid-tempo kick beat}
Red dirt on the chrome,
midnight on the clock
Eighty thousand pounds, rolling non-stop
Old Interstate Forty
stretching out ahead
No time for sleeping
in a feather bed
{pedal steel guitar swell} I can hear those big wheels hummin' down
the line
Counting down the miles till I see her and I'm on time
(roll on) {guitar build-up} Oh,
eighteen wheels and a heart of steel
Rolling through the dark is the only way I feel
Got a payload of hope
and a dashboard light
Just an old freight hauler in the middle of the night
{power chords and heavy snare} Coffee in a paper cup,
static on the dial Been staring at these headlights for another hundred
miles
But the gear-shift is ready and the engine is strong Just keeping
her steady, humming along
{acoustic guitar picking} {ripping Telecaster country guitar solo} {screaming
pedal steel bends} {energetic driving drum rhythm} Oh,
eighteen wheels and a heart of steel
Rolling through the dark is the only way I feel
Got a payload of hope and a dashboard light
Just an old freight hauler in the middle of the night
{soaring vocal high-note}
Rolling through the night...
(just roll on) Keep those wheels turning...
{diesel brake
hiss} {fading acoustic guitar strum} {engine idle fade out}
