Ronnie Milsap - Prisoner Of The Highway Lyrics
Diesel powers 18 wheels to rollin'As I pull it on to the Interstate.I've got thirteen hours to make my destinationAnd I don't want to stop to check my weightThere won't be no sleep for me tonightNo, I've got to be hittin' Tulsa by first morning light.Chorus:I'm aprisoner of the highwayDriven on by my restless soulCall me a prisoner of the highwayPrison by the freedom of the road.I've run freight out of Wheeling, West VirginaAnd US Steel from MemphisI've rode tobacco out of the Carolina'sCalifornia wines into BurminghamSome people work just to survive, yeahBut up here in this cab that's when I'm most alive.I'm aprisoner of the highwayDriven on by my restless soulCall me a prisoner of the highwayPrison by the freedom of the road.--- Instrumental ---Got a wife living back in TennesseeAnd she tries to understand the way I feelI could give my hands to another line of workBut my heart would always be behind the wheel.Call me a prisoner of the highwayDriven on by my restless soulI'm a prisoner of the highwayPrison by the freedom of the road.Don't you know I'm aprisoner of the highwayDriven on by my restless soulCall me a prisoner of the highwayPrison by the freedom of the road...
