[Verse 1 – Truck Driver’s Voice] The sun was settin’ on the western line, I was ridin’ solo, just killin’ time. Got my coffee hot, my engine hummin’ low, Just me and the road, with nowhere to go. Then the static cracked on channel nine, A quiet voice said, “Hey, is anyone drivin’ fine? I don’t need much, just a minute or two
 I just wanna talk, if that’s alright with you.” [Verse 2 ] Said, “I’m sittin’ home, can’t walk like you, My legs don’t work, but I got dreams too. Daddy was a driver ‘fore he went away, Now I sit by the scanner nearly every day.” “I pretend I’m ridin’ right next to you, Seein’ the trees and the skies so blue. Could you tell me ‘bout the road tonight? Is the moon shinin’ down? Are the stars real bright?” [Chorus] I said, ‘Hey there kid, you just hold tight, I’ll take you with me through the radio light. We’re rollin’ past fields and sleepy old towns, The kind where the lights all start blinkin’ down. You can ride with me as long as you please — There’s room in my cab for a voice like these.’” [Verse 3 ] I gave him the miles, the signs I passed, He laughed real soft and said, “That’s so fast!” Then one by one, the truckers chimed in, “Breaker nine, we got a rider within!” One told jokes, another sang a tune, One shared stories under the Texas moon. That little voice, man, it lit up the line — Turned lonely wheels into somethin’ fine. [Bridge] You know, we never saw his face, But we all knew his name in that quiet place. He just wanted to ride, feel the wind somehow — And for one sweet night, we made that vow. [Final Chorus] “Hey there, kid — you still ridin’ with me? The road’s still long, but we’re rollin’ free. We’re the kings of the blacktop, just you and I — Chasin’ white lines under moonlit sky. You gave us more than you’ll ever know — You showed us the heart behind the show
” [Outro ] "And if you’re still listenin’... just know you’re always ridin’ shotgun with us
 every mile, every mile." đŸŽ” [Engine hum fades out]
