Karaoké Prisoner of the Highway Ronnie Milsap

Diesel power eighteen wheels to rollin' as I pull it on to the interstate

I've got thirteen hours to make my destination

And I don't want to stop to check my weight

Won't be no sleep for me tonight, no

Gotta be hittin' Tulsa by first mornin' light

I'm a prisoner of the highway

Driven on by my restless soul

Call me a prisoner of the highway

Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah

I've run freight out of Wheeling West Virginia and U.S. steel from Bethlehem

And I've rolled tobacco out of the Carolinas

California winds into Birmingham

Some people work just to survive yeah

But up here in this cab that's when I'm most alive

I'm a prisoner of the highway

Driven on by my restless soul

Call me a prisoner of the highway

Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah

Yeah yeah

I've got a wife livin' back in Tennessee

And she tries to understand the way I feel

I could give my hands to another line of work

But my heart would always be behind the wheel

Call me a prisoner of the highway

Driven on by my restless soul

I'm a prisoner of the highway

Prison by the freedom of the road

Don't you know I'm a prisoner of the highway

Driven on by my restless soul

Call me a prisoner of the highway

Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah yeah

Woo

Let it play, let it play

Prisoner of the highway

Prisoner of the highway yall

Haa
