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
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)
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
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
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
Rolling through the night...
(just roll on) Keep those wheels turning...
