Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hammer down the open road
Steel pigs my only load
Country songs are always playing
She's a going, he's a staying
Briquets keep the fires burning
Diesel keeps the wheels  a turning
Hikers on the edge of town
They start off young and end up learning
[Verse 2]
I'm shipping steal, shipping steal
Shipping steal, shipping steal
Nobody knows the way it feels
Caught between heaven and the highway
Shipping steal, shipping steal
Shipping steal, shipping steal
[Verse 3]
Some men need a family
Need a club fraternity
God's salvation guaranteed
Mac's the only friend I need
[Verse 4]
Shipping steal, shipping steal
Shipping steal, shipping steal
Nobody knows the way it feels
Caught between heaven and the highway
Shipping steal, shipping steal
Shipping steal, shipping steal
Well I can see myself sliding down
[Verse 5]
Nobody knows the way it feels
Caught between heaven and the highway
Shipping steal, shipping steal
Shipping steal, shipping steal
Nobody knows the way it feels
Caught between heaven and the highway
Shipping steal, shipping steal
Shipping steal, shipping steal
[Verse 6]
Shipping steal, shipping steal
Shipping steal, shipping steal
