Diesel powers 18 wheels to rolling As I pull it on to the Interstate I've got 13 hours to make my destination And I don't want to stop to check my weight There won't be no sleep for me tonight no I've got to be hitting Tulsa by first morning light I'm a prisoner of the highway Driven on by my restless soul Call me a prisoner of the highway Prison by the freedom of the road I've run freight out of Wheeling West Virginia And US Steel from Memphis I've rolled tobacco out of the Carolina's California wines into Birmingham Some people work just to survive yeah But up here in this cab that's when I'm most alive I'm a prisoner of the highway Driven on by my restless soul Call me a prisoner of the highway Prison by the freedom of the road Got a wife living back in Tennessee And she tries to understand the way I feel I could give my hands to another line of work But my heart would always be behind the wheel Call me a prisoner of the highway Driven on by my restless soul I'm a prisoner of the highway Prison by the freedom of the road Don't you know I'm a prisoner of the highway Driven on by my restless soul Call me a prisoner of the highway Prison by the freedom of the road
