Prisoner of the Highway

Diesel power 18 wheels a rollin'
 As I pull it her on to the Interstate.
 I've got thirteen hours to make my destination
 Don't want to stop to check my weight
 Won't be no sleep for me tonight
 I've got to be makin' Tulsa by first morning light.
 I'm a prisoner of the highway
 Driven on by my restless soul
 Call me a prisoner of the highway
 Imprisoned by the freedom of the road.
 I've hauled freight out of Wheeling, West Virgina
 US Steel from Bethlehem
 Rode tobacco out of the Carolina's
 California wines into Burmingham
 Some people work just to survive
 But up here in this cab that's when I'm most alive.
 I'm a prisoner of the highway
 Driven on by my restless soul
 Call me a prisoner of the highway
 Imprisoned by the freedom of the road.
 Got a wife waiting back in Tennessee
 She tries to understand the way I feel
 I could get my hands to another line of work
 But my heart would always be behind the wheel.
 I'm a prisoner of the highway
 Driven on by my restless soul
 Call me a prisoner of the highway
 Imprisoned by the freedom of the road.
 I'm a prisoner of the highway
 Driven on by my restless soul
 Call me a prisoner of the highway
 Imprisoned by the freedom of the road.
