Big wheel, don't you roll

Big diesel, don't you whine

Through the night as I'm running down the road

Big semi, don't you stop, 'cause if you do I'm not
G A7 D
Gonna make it back to Baltimore with my load

Well, the truckstop's warm and friendly
A7 D
And the coffee keeps me up
G A7 D
And the waitress there would like to waste my time

As it's down the road I fly

Just a-racing with that pocket watch of mine

Burning up the road

Counting road signs and the miles to Baltimore
