{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}
