Prisoner Of The Highway (Paused)

[00:21.28] Diesel powers 18 wheels to rollin'
[00:25.73] As I pull it on to the Interstate.
[00:31.26] I've got thirteen hours to make my destination
[00:35.75] And I don't want to stop to check my weight
[00:40.30] There won't be no sleep for me tonight
[00:45.62] No, I've got to be hittin' Tulsa by first morning light.
[00:50.16] Chorus:
[00:51.17] I'm a prisoner of the highway
[00:56.55] Driven on by my restless soul
[01:01.06] Call me a prisoner of the highway
[01:06.40] Prison by the freedom of the road.
[01:20.07] I've run freight out of Wheeling, West Virgina
[01:25.43] And US Steel from Memphis
[01:30.80] I've rode tobacco out of the Carolina's
[01:36.27] California wines into Burmingham
[01:40.85] Some people work just to survive, yeah
[01:46.22] But up here in this cab that's when I'm most alive.
[01:50.70] I'm a prisoner of the highway
[01:56.15] Driven on by my restless soul
[02:00.61] Call me a prisoner of the highway
[02:06.07] Prison by the freedom of the road.
[02:11.51] --- Instrumental ---
[02:31.37] Got a wife living back in Tennessee
[02:35.98] And she tries to understand the way I feel
[02:40.49] I could give my hands to another line of work
[02:45.87] But my heart would always be behind the wheel.
[02:50.30] Call me a prisoner of the highway
[02:54.93] Driven on by my restless soul
[03:00.31] I'm a prisoner of the highway
[03:06.61] Prison by the freedom of the road.
[03:11.18] Don't you know I'm a prisoner of the highway
[03:16.50] Driven on by my restless soul
[03:21.15] Call me a prisoner of the highway
[03:27.45] Prison by the freedom of the road...
