'Southbound'

Southbound, middle lane, heavy train
Hard shoulder blues in the drivin' rain
Long road home gonna drive me insane
Gotta get back to my baby again

Steel haul, road block, take another route
Sometimes I swear the devil's in cahoots
Everybody getting on my last damn nerve
Life just throwed me one more curve

I'm on the edge and running out of time
Gotta get through before they close this line
A rebel on the pedal with a heart full of metal
Tryin' to get home to you...

Stay in your lane but they get you anyway
Big as they come the harder it takes
Eleven to eleven, easy on the brakes
Can't hold back n' can't make a mistake

Southbound, middle lane, heavy train
Eatin' up the miles in a world of pain
No time for thinkin' and what would I gain
Just need her smile like a shot in my vein

I'm on the edge and running out of time
Gotta get through before they close this line
A rebel on the pedal with a heart full of metal
Tryin' to get home to you...

Southbound, middle lane, heavy train
Hard shoulder blues in the drivin' rain
Long road home gonna drive me insane
Gotta get back to my baby again
Southbound, middle lane, heavy train
Hard shoulder blues in the drivin' rain
Long road home gonna drive me insane
Gotta get back to my baby again
Gotta get back to you
Gotta get back to you
Gotta get back to you...
