I can see what’s coming for me 
 By the way that it’s bending the pines 
 Brother, me and these 18-wheels are gonna hammer on down the line 
 Flying like a bat out of hell 
 Tearing out of North Alabama 
 Signs are saying: Jesus Saves 
 But the devil don’t give a damn 
    Tryin’ to keep all the rubber on 65 
 Might not make it out alive 
 White knuckling the wheel just to survive 
 Caught in the crosswind 
 Caught in the crosswind 
 Caught in the crosswind 
 Caught in the crosswind   
 Sometimes, what drives a man 
 Ain’t nothing but a matter of will 
 When a man’s got a heavy load 
 He just tryin’ to make it over the hill 
 Burning the hours taking truck-stop showers 
 And sleeping in the cheap motels 
 Picking up speed on a mission to feed 
 Five kids with a CDL   
 Tryin’ to keep all the rubber on 65 
 Might not make it out alive 
 White knuckling the wheel just to survive 
 Caught in the crosswind 
 Caught in the crosswind 
 Caught in the crosswind 
 Caught in the crosswind   
 It’s a fight in the dark of night with another hundred miles to run 
 When your mind starts tryin’ to find ways to get you out from under the gun 
 This livin’ ain’t much of a life 
 But it’s the only thing I know how to do 
 I miss you, honey 
 But I gotta make some money 
 So, I'm hoping I can make it through   
 Tryin’ to keep all the rubber on 65 
 Might not make it out alive 
 White knuckling the wheel just to survive 
 Caught in the crosswind 
 Caught in the crosswind 
 Caught in the crosswind 
 Caught in the crosswind   
 Caught in the crosswind 
 Caught in the crosswind
