Hey buddy, do you know me?
If you don't, then you soon see
Get ready and hang on,
cause it's gonna be a long night
Your lanes of travel were straight ahead
Pay attention or end up dead And if you're ready to sleep,
then be ready to fight
They call me truckin' but I ain't a job,
I'm a lifestyle
And if you're ready to leave,
then be ready to be gone a while
Yeah, but you can find me
Out on the road,
killin' these hours
Truckin' this load,
I'm leavin' east And I'll be drivin' all night
Up the hills and over the stream Floatin' all eighteen,
I'm livin' the scream
It ain't easy, no,
but that's alright Cause it's one hell of a ride
Eighteen wheels on the pavement Eighteen gears that I'm changin'
Eighteen hours to go, ready, set, let's roll
Forty-five thousand in the box Pay attention,
boy,
don't get stopped
CB's on channel 19, listenin' for any cops
Lifestyle ain't for everyone,
so it's alright If you can't handle it,
then just go back to your nine-to-five
Yeah, but you can find me
Out on the road, killin' these hours
Truckin' this load,
I'm leavin' east And I'll be drivin' all night
Up the hills and over the stream Floatin' all eighteen,
I'm livin' the scream
It ain't easy, no,
but that's alright Cause it's one hell of a ride
Down two-lane roads,
goin' where no one else wants to go
And when I roll,
you can blame it on my gypsy soul
Yeah, you can find me
Out on the road, killin' these hours
Truckin' this load,
I'm leavin' east And I'll be drivin' all night
Up the hills and over the stream Floatin' all eighteen,
I'm livin' the scream
It ain't easy, no,
but that's alright Cause it's one hell of a ride
Yeah, it's one hell of a ride
Yeah, it's one hell of a ride
