EIGHTEEN WHEELS


 Leaving out of North Dakota, heading for 
 Odessa town,

 Hopped up into my ole' truck, eighteen wheels 
 Under my butt.

 Haulin' a load of lumber and steel,


 Me and my music box, my hands on the stearin' 
 Wheel.

 I'm headin' for the heat of Texas,


 It's gonna be a long, long, road, don't you know.


 I turned up some good ole' country tunes,


 Time to put the hammer down.


 This life I chose, on the road it's to anywhere I 
 Roam,

 Just a simple, Kansas farm boy, one day I'll go 
 Back home.

 Eighteen wheels, rollin' down the highway,


 Eighteen wheels, doin' it my way.


 Just a good ole' boy with places to be,


 A country heart, and I got things to see,


 Eighteen wheels and I'm runnin' free.
