Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-yeah
It's a long straight road and the engine is deep
I can't help thinkin' of a good night's sleep
And the long long roads of my li-ife were a callin' me

These rough old hands are a-glued to the wheel
My eyes full of sand from the way they feel

The song they sing is a part of my mind
