Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Diesel powers, eighteen wheels to rollin'

As I pull it on to the interstate

I've got thirteen hours to make my destination

And I don't wanna stop to check my weight

[Verse 2]

There won't be no sleep for me tonight, no

I gotta be hittin' Tulsa by first mornin' light

[Verse 3]

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, yeah

[Verse 4]

I've run freight out of Wheeling, West Virginia

And U.S. Steel from Bethlehem

I've rolled tobacco out of the Carolinas

California wines into Birmingham

[Verse 5]

Some people work just to survive, yeah

But up here in this cab, that's when I'm most alive

[Verse 6]

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, yeah

[Verse 7]

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 8]

I've got a wife livin' back in Tennessee

And she tries to understand the way I feel, ha

I could give my hands to another line of work

But my heart would always be behind the wheel

[Verse 9]

Call me a prisoner of the highway

Driven on by my restless soul

I'm a prisoner of the highway

Imprisoned by the freedom of the road

[Verse 10]

Don't you know 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, yeah, yeah

[Verse 11]

Woo

Let it play, let it play

[Verse 12]

Prisoner of the highway (Woo-ooh-ooh)

Prisoner of the highway, yeah
