[Couplet 1] Left Truckee in the cold dawn light, railcar mover on the chain, I‑80 hummin’ steady, diesel heartbeat in my vein. Reno fuel, cut the engine, then I rolled back on the line, Two thousand miles to Little Rock, clean run, no decline. Wyoming winds were howlin’, but my 389 stayed true, Zero damage on the meter, highway dust on my shoes. Arkansas sun was risin’, dropped the load without a sound, Didn’t stop, didn’t breathe — turned the rig back around. [Refrain] I’m on the road again, no pause, no break, From Truckee to Little Rock, then west for the take. Heavy steel on my back, highway burnin’ slow, Albuquerque in my sights — that’s the way I roll. [Couplet 2] Picked up a log stacker, hundred eighteen thousand pounds, Little Rock behind me, I‑40 layin’ out like hounds. One hour on the clock, eight hundred miles gone, Sun high over Texas, diesel rhythm keepin’ strong. No fines, no fear, just the hum of the lane, Three trailers on the axle, outlaw calm in my brain. [Bridge] No sleep on the asphalt, just the rumble and the glow, Two states, two loads, one veteran on the go. If you ride behind my shadow, better learn to keep it clean, ’Cause I run the long‑haul highway like a midnight machine. [Refrain — Final] I’m on the road again, no pause, no break, From Truckee to Little Rock, then west for the take. Heavy steel on my back, highway burnin’ slow, Albuquerque in my sights — that’s the way I roll.
