[Intro: CB radio static, spoken, grinning] Breaker one-nine, this is the Night Owl Got a load to move and a grin on my face Anybody out there? Let's go! [Verse 1: half-spoken, swaggering, uptempo] Hit the on-ramp at the crack of dawn Diesel hummin' like a freight-train song Coffee's hot and the radio's loud Got a hundred miles of sky and not a single cloud [Pre-Chorus: building, drums tighten] Cruisin' past the mile markers, countin' em down Wavin' at the truckers in every little town [Chorus: big, singalong, backing vocals] Rollin' west, rollin' wild, with the wind in my hair Pedal down, hearts up, got no worries to spare Sing it loud, honk the horn, let the whole road know We're a good time on wheels and we're ready to go! [Verse 2: half-spoken, playful] Pulled into a diner for a slice of pie Waitress winked and said "you're in a hurry, guy" I said "ma'am, the highway's callin' my name And a Georgia sunset ain't never the same" [Pre-Chorus: building, drums tighten] Back on the blacktop, engine's singin' along Every mile I'm movin' makes a better song [Chorus: big, singalong, backing vocals] Rollin' west, rollin' wild, with the wind in my hair Pedal down, hearts up, got no worries to spare Sing it loud, honk the horn, let the whole road know We're a good time on wheels and we're ready to go! [Guitar Solo: fingerpicked, fast, playful, honky-tonk piano answers] [Bridge: half-time, then building back up, call-and-response] (Where you headed?) Wherever the road goes! (What's your cargo?) Good luck and good vibes! (You gonna make it?) Honey, I was born to ride! (Then step on it!) Oh, I'm already flyin'! [Final Chorus: key change up, full band, crowd vocals] Rollin' west, rollin' wild, with the wind in my hair Pedal down, hearts up, got no worries to spare Sing it loud, honk the horn, let the whole road know We're a good time on wheels and we're ready to go! Yeah, we're a good time on wheels, and we're ready to go! [Outro: fade with CB chatter] Night Owl signin' off, y'all keep it shiny side up Ten-four, good buddy, see ya down the road!
