I'm running down this highway 
Don't remember where I slept last night 
I just remember halfway through the night 
I woke up stiff with fright 
I dreamed there was no asphalt 
I dreamed there was no gasoline 
Felt like a rat caught in some nowhere town 
I woke up and screamed 

This highway 
This highway 
This highway 
This highway 
This highway 
This highway's mine 

I grew up on the dragstrip 
I used to shut em down 
I used to take their pinkslips 
There's a sucker born in every town 
I never showed no mercy 
I blew them all away 
They stood there and cursed me 
As I towed their lives away 

I used to run the cocaine 
I used to run the weed 
These days I'm just running 
Tryin' to make this highway bleed 
Sometimes the only difference 'tween me and this machine 
Is I run on desperation 
She runs on gasoline 

I'm the Roadmaster 
The Asphalt Blaster 
Mess with me and I'll shut you down 
The bad thing 
The highway king and I've come to claim my kingdom now
