The diesel's racing
I passed a waystation
Way back down the road
I'm paying no heed to the limit on speed
I just can't take it slow
I've made 400 miles since 4:00 am
With 300 more to go
And a little bit of luck
And the grace of my truck
Tonight I'm gonna make it home
'Cause I'm rollin' lonely
I need you to hold me
In your arms tonight
I said some things I didn't mean
I just gotta make it right
Eighteen wheels
Are signing out your name
I'm moving like lightning through the pouring rain
Rollin' lonely all the way to Memphis tonight
The signs are flashing
The cars are passing
Headlights were blinding me
But the tears in your eyes when I said goodbye
That's all that I could see
Seems like Texas goes on forever
I'm racin' uphill against time
I'm doin' 78 on this damned interstate
And you're drivin' me out of my mind
'Cause I'm rollin' lonely
I need you to hold me
In your arms tonight
I said some things I didn't mean
I just gotta make it right
'Cause I'm rollin' lonely
I need you to hold me
In your arms tonight
I said some things I didn't mean
I just gotta make it right
