Drive my truck midway to the motorway station Fair-lane cruiser coming up on the left hand side Headlights shining, driving rain on the window frame Little young lady stardust hitching a ride And it's two, four, six, eight, never too late Me and my radio trucking on through the night Three, five, seven, nine, on a little white line Motorway sun coming up with the morning light Whizz-kid sitting pretty on your two wheels stallion This old ten ton lorry got a bead on you Ain't no use setting up with a bad companion Ain't nobody got the better of you know who Two, four, six, eight, never too late Me and my radio trucking on through the night Three, five, seven, nine, on a little white line Single motorway sun coming up with the morning light Well, there ain't no route you can choose to lose the two of us Ain't nobody know when you're acting right or wrong No one knows if a roadway's leading nowhere Gonna keep on driving on the road I'm on And it's two, four, six, eight, never too late Just me and my radio trucking on through the night Three, five, seven, nine, on a little white line Motorway sun coming up with the morning light Two, four, six, eight, never too late Me and my radio trucking on through the night Three, five, seven, nine, on a little white line Motorway sun coming up with the morning light Motorway sun coming up with the morning light That same old motorway sun coming up with the morning light Yeah, yeah, yeah, say, two, four, six, eight, never too late Just me and my radio trucking on through the night Three, five, seven, nine, on a little white line Motorway sun coming up with the morning light And two, four, six, eight, never too late Me and my radio trucking on through the night
