作词 : Blaylock, Herd, Vincent
There's a cold wind from Alberta
That carries me on down

From Greenbay to the Port shore
This rig is homeward bound

Nothings gonna stop me
From that boy of mine
It's pedal to the metal
And ridin that red line

Forty tons of iron

Sixteen hours to go
Eighteen wheels to take me
To the one that I love so

I know he's waiting for me
And looking mighty fine

It's pedal to the metal
And riding that red line

Springfield to St Louie
Just said goodbye to me
I'm southbound like a nighbird
On the wing and sailing free

The morning light will bring him
I can see him in the view
My hauling days are over
This run is nearly through

Forty tons of iron
Sixteen hours to go

Eighteen wheels to take me
To the one that I love so

I know he's waiting for me
And looking mighty fine
It's pedal to the metal
And riding that red line

Forty tons of iron
Sixteen hours to go
Eighteen wheels to take me
To the one that I love so
I know he's waiting for me
And looking mighty fine
It's pedal to the metal
And riding that red line

The queen of my destiny
Riding on the wind

I'm heading home again
