The Road

[Verse 1] There's a thousand miles and eighteen hours I got to double drive down southbound 35 I got the hammer down, Detroit made 525 pushin' my ass right down that line [Chorus] And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel Just tells me that I'm back out on the road [Verse 2] I got a full grown creepin' up on my tail And I won't make bail in this small time jail No, not 'round here I got the bird dog on, radio cranked Gear jammin', lane changin' son of a bitch You bet ya, son [Chorus] And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel Just tells me that I'm back out on the road [Verse 3] Just left the jail with a hand full of pills And I won't quit till I hit the coop in Abilene I'm almost there there's just a few more miles I'll make the drop and I'll turn and burn, I'm out o' here [Chorus] And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel Just tells me that I'm back out on the road And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel Just tells me that I'm back out on the road
