lyrics

This old truck of mine, gonna roll it on down the line
and leave a little girl behind, and I don’t want to
Another load, another run; headin' out of a setting sun
thinkin’ maybe she was one I could hold onto

I’ve grown used to the way it feels, this home on eighteen wheels
where the truckstop showers and meals never make me feel clean
Another one of those lonely nights, in the glow of the running lights
with a full moon in my sights, and a long haul in between

I go where the highway takes me
to the places in my mind
where the objects in my mirror appear much smaller
like troubles left behind

the open road is the perfect place to lose a troubled mind
in the tail lights and the diesel smoke blowin’ out behind

These big wheels roll along, and they won't steer me wrong
singin’ their highway song, always runnin’ in my head
When I get to the end of the line, gonna find a light to shine
and rest this heart of mine, let my memories be my bed

I go where the highway takes me
to the places in my mind
where the white line in my mirror is still connected
to the past I left behind

I go where the highway takes me
to the places in my mind
where the road ahead appears to hold more promise
than the life I left behind
