Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This eighteen-wheeler rolling heavy through the desert tonight
I've been driving all day but I won't shut her down tonight
I just pulled out of Santa Fe, I'm gonna make it home by the break of day
'Cause the midnight hauler is cannonballing her home
[Verse 2]
Got my load strapped sown and my Peter Built is wound up tight
I got my saddle full of diesel and my belly full of coffee and whites
I've been talking on the radio, keeping track of old Smoky Joe
'Cause the midnight hauler is cannonballing her home
[Verse 3]
I got a little woman waiting back in old KC
Lord, that sweet good woman don't love nobody but old RB
I just called her on the telephone, I said "Tomorrow night, you won't sleep alone"
'Cause the midnight hauler is cannonballing her home
[Verse 4]
The highway is deserted it's a Saturday night
Ain't nobody but the moon and the trucks in sight
Streaking across the desert like a lightning flash
I'm going home baby, got to get there fast
[Verse 5]
This eighteen-wheeler rolling heavy through the desert tonight
Lord, I've been driving all day but I won't shut her down tonight
I just pulled out of Santa Fe, I'm gonna make it home by the break of day
'Cause the midnight hauler is cannonballing her home
[Verse 6]
Watch out y'all, here it comes
