I Burn Up the Roads That I Drive On

I'm on a big four-lane in a big Mack

Lookin' down on the Fords and the Cadillacs

And by the time they see me in their rearview mirror, I'm gone

I got a deadline to meet, and I burn up the roads I drive on

I'm a hard-workin' man, pay my taxes

Drove a half a million miles just in Texas

I got a rough way to go, but I gotta keep movin' on

Can't keep the nation waitin', 'cause I burn up the roads I drive on

I burn up the roads in the rain and the drivin' snow

I try to make time in the wind, but it sure can blow

And I think I'm gonna melt when I feel that hot Florida sun

But it's not gonna stop me, 'cause I burn up the roads that I drive on

Gotta take me some time for a rest break

My back keeps hurtin' and my shoulders ache

A fast cup of coffee or a meal, but when I'm done

I'm gonna make me some tracks, 'cause I burn up the roads that I drive on

Well, in the next truck you see, take a good look

Just might be me, so don't you be shook

I drive a little fast, but I'm careful, 'cause I'm never alone

My family is waitin' while I burn up the roads that I drive on

I burn up the roads in the rain and the drivin' snow

Tryin' to make time in the wind, but it sure can blow

And I think I'm gonna melt when I feel that hot Florida sun

But it's not gonna stop me, 'cause I burn up the roads that I drive on

No, it's not gonna stop me, 'cause I burn up the roads that I drive on
