[Verse 1] Day six, I’m stirring the mug, dash light keeps flickerin’ First light on the hood and this old rig starts whisperin’ Northbound before coffee, Freightliner cab Westbound by noon, got the gearbox talkin’ back Southbound after sunset with the radio low Eastbound at daybreak, just me and the glow [Solo] [Chorus] This big rig thumps with a steady backbeat Chrome up front and the whole thing leans neat She clatters and chatters when I lean in the bend White lines streak by, but I hold the end Black coffee jitters and a tank full of diesel One more county line and I’m gone through the season Four hard turns and a town I never knew This cab lets go like a two-lane crew This cab’s my spot, and this road’s my map (Choir: keep it moving) (Choir: keep it moving) (Choir: hammer it out) (Choir: hammer it out) [Solo] [Verse 2] Got a paper cup cold and a chipped-up key CB hissing like it still knows me Southbound for the paycheck, westbound for the grade Northbound for a pickup, eastbound same parade Past the dark where the county’s asleep I count the exits and the promises I keep Hands on the wheel, but my head’s at the booth And my girl on the line says, “you sound like the truth” Another state line slips like change in my palm [Solo] [Chorus] This big rig thumps with a steady backbeat Chrome up front and the whole thing leans neat She clatters and chatters when I lean in the bend White lines streak by, but I hold the end Black coffee jitters and a tank full of diesel One more county line and I’m gone through the season Four hard turns and a town I never knew This cab lets go like a two-lane crew This cab’s my spot, and this road’s my map (Choir: keep it moving) (Choir: keep it moving) (Choir: hammer it out) (Choir: hammer it out) [Solo] [Bridge] Maybe Sunday I’ll ease it in slow, wipe bugs off the chrome Hear my name on the porch and set the phone down at home But tonight there’s a grade and a stack of freight And her voice on the line saying, “don’t roll in late” (Choir: all night) (Choir: all night) [Solo] [Final Chorus] This big rig thumps with a steady backbeat Chrome up front and the whole thing leans neat She clatters and chatters when I lean in the bend White lines streak by, but I hold the end Black coffee jitters and a tank full of diesel One more county line and I’m gone through the season Four hard turns and a town I never knew This cab lets go like a two-lane crew This cab’s my spot, and this road’s my map So sing it out loud, sing it out loud, let that blacktop clap Keep it moving, keep it moving, till the tail lamps fade Hammer it out, hammer it out, through the miles we made Keep it moving, keep it moving, till the tail lamps fade [Solo] [Outro] Southbound, westbound, northbound, eastbound Truck, driver, freight, road, rolling on down
