Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Diamonds on the windshield as  heaven starts to cry
In his rearview mirror, his angle waves goodbye
She knows he's got to go
She knows he's one of them
[Verse 2]
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes blowing out again
Sailing for the setting sun
Freedom's your best friend
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
[Verse 3]
He puts the pedal to the metal, trying to out run the rain
Another shot of truck stop coffee
Goes running through his veins
This country turns on eighteen wheels
Thank God we can depend on
[Verse 4]
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes blowing out again
Sailing for the setting sun
Freedom's your best friend
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
[Verse 5]
Carolina west to Denver
Baton Rouge east to Pittsburg
Portland south to San Diego
Sail on, sail on
Tallahassee north to Boston
Up to  Bangor west to Austin
Coast to coast, sea to sea
Sail on, sail on, you
[Verse 6]
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes blowing out again
Sailing for the setting sun
Freedom's your best friend
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
[Verse 7]
God bless you brothers of the highway, children of the wind
