I SEE THE STORM CLOUDS ROLLIN’ IN, THEY MAKE ME FEEL SO SMALL
THE ROAD AHEAD IS LONG I KNOW, I’M WAITIN’ FOR A CALL
THESE 18 WHEELS I’M DRIVIN’ ON, WE NEED A PLACE TO ROAM
I’VE GOT A SON IN ABILENE, HE NEED’S HIS DADDY HOME

Chorus
LIFE ON THE HIGHWAY IT’S HARD TO EXPLAIN
IT GETS DOWN IN YOUR SOUL, AND DOES SOMETHIN’ TO YOUR BRAIN
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST OR WEST, DOESN’T MATTER WHERE I GO
IT’S JUST ONE MORE DAY……….THAT’S LIFE ON THE ROAD

WON’T BE LONG TILL THESE TIRES ARE GONE, MY CHECKBOOK’S IN THE RED
THE ENGINE LIGHT IT JUST CAME ON, WEIGH STATION JUST AHEAD
THE DOT IS ON MY BACK, MY LOG BOOK’S OVER DUE
THE DIESEL SIGN SAYS $4.19, DON’T KNOW HOW LONG BEFORE I’M THROUGH

Chorus
LIFE ON THE HIGHWAY IT’S HARD TO EXPLAIN
IT GETS DOWN IN YOUR SOUL, AND DOES SOMETHIN’ TO YOUR BRAIN
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST OR WEST, DOESN’T MATTER WHERE I GO
IT’S JUST ONE MORE DAY……….THAT’S LIFE ON THE ROAD

HEADED SOUTH TO SAN ANTONE, WITH A HEAVY LOAD OF STEEL
I PRAY THESE STRAPS ARE HOLDIN’ TIGHT, MY FINGERS GRIP THE WHEEL
THEN I HEAR A STILL SMALL VOICE, IT SAYS YOU’LL BE OK
I KNOW THERE’S ANGELS WATCHIN’ ME, DAY AFTER DAY

Chorus
LIFE ON THE HIGHWAY IT’S HARD TO EXPLAIN
IT GETS DOWN IN YOUR SOUL, AND DOES SOMETHIN’ TO YOUR BRAIN
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST OR WEST, DOESN’T MATTER WHERE I GO
IT’S JUST ONE MORE DAY……….THAT’S LIFE ON THE ROAD
