[Intro] [Banjo opening featuring happy gypsy violin] Verse 1 A blazing sunrise on the highway, Coffee in a cup and charging on time, Big wheels rolling In the prairie light, The Oklahoma wind sings in the night. The sound beats like a country band, Miles keep stretching, Across the dusty ground, Laughter of truck stops and radio songs, Guarding hearts, Weary rolling hard. Chorus Hey, we're on our way, On Oklahoma roads. Carrying heavy-duty dreams, Oklahoma City far away, With diesel hearts And village pride. Rain or shine, We keep moving, Chasing the moonlight, Welcoming the dawn, Life gets tough But we still smile, Truck drivers live Mile by mile. Verse 2 Neon lights glow in a roadside diner, Boots on gravel and the engines are hot, Stories fly in the coffee fumes, Every driver has a restless dream. Storm clouds roll Over wide fields, Still the eighteen wheels keep running, Lonely highways, Endless silver skies, Freedom lives in the eyes of the heavy truck driver. [bridge] [Drum syncopations and percussion in triplets] [Saxophone solo and slide guitar] Chorus Hey, we're driving the Oklahoma roads, Carrying dreams in heavy loads, Oklahoma City is far away, With diesel hearts and country pride. Rain or shine, We keep moving, Chasing the moonlight, Welcoming the dawn, Life gets tough but we still smile, Truck drivers live mile by mile. [Bridge 2] Verse 3 Sunday morning, Somewhere in Tulsa, We still have fifty miles to go, Thinking of those we brought home tonight, Waiting by the porch light shining brightly. The open road keeps calling, Like a steel guitar beneath the clouds, And every mile is a different story to tell, From Oklahoma roads We know. Last chorus Hey, we ride Oklahoma roads, Carrying dreams in heavy loads, From faraway Oklahoma City, With diesel hearts and village pride. Rain or shine, We keep going, Chasing the moonlight, Welcoming the dawn, Life gets tough but we still smile, Truck drivers live mile by mile. [Outro]
