| [00:22.23] |
Diesel power, eighteen wheels to rollin' |
| [00:26.75] |
As I pull it on to the interstate |
| [00:32.20] |
I've got thirteen hours to make my destination |
| [00:37.01] |
And I don't want to stop to check my weight |
| [00:42.89] |
Won't be no sleep for me tonight, no |
| [00:47.99] |
Gotta be hittin' Tulsa by first mornin' light. |
| [00:52.26] |
Call me a prisoner of the highway |
| [00:58.47] |
Driven on by my restless soul |
| [01:02.41] |
I'm a prisoner of the highway |
| [01:08.62] |
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah. |
| [01:21.86] |
I've run freight out of Wheeling West Virginia |
| [01:27.20] |
And U.S. Steel from Bethlehem |
| [01:31.68] |
And I've rolled tobacco out of the Carolinas |
| [01:37.33] |
California winds into Birmingham |
| [01:42.36] |
Some people work just to survive |
| [01:47.10] |
But up here in this cab |
| [01:49.27] |
Is the only time I'm alive. |
| [01:51.83] |
I'm a prisoner of the highway |
| [01:57.73] |
Driven on by my restless soul |
| [02:01.75] |
Call me a prisoner of the highway |
| [02:08.12] |
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah. |
| [02:21.05] |
|
| [02:31.80] |
I've got a wife livin' back in Tennessee |
| [02:35.78] |
Ronnie |
| [02:36.43] |
she tries to understand the way I feel (Lord, have mercy) |
| [02:41.41] |
Now I could give my hand to another line of work |
| [02:45.97] |
But my heart would always be behind the wheel. |
| [02:51.30] |
Call me a prisoner of the highway |
| [02:57.05] |
Driven on by my restless soul |
| [03:00.99] |
I'm a prisoner of the highway |
| [03:07.11] |
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah. |
| [03:11.55] |
Don't ya know. |
| [03:12.68] |
I'm a prisoner of the highway |
| [03:17.60] |
Driven on by my restless soul |
| [03:21.75] |
Call me a prisoner of the highway |
| [03:27.66] |
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah. |
| [03:43.46] |
We're prisoners of the highway (that's right) |
| [03:48.28] |
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road |
| [04:03.05] |
Yeah, we are prisoners of the highway (one more time) |
| [04:09.33] |
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road... |
