Prisoner Of The Highway Lyrics - Ronnie Milsap

Diesel powers 18 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 

There won't be no sleep for me tonight 

No, I've got to be hittin' Tulsa by first morning light. 

Chorus: 

I'm a prisoner of the highway 

Driven on by my restless soul 

Call me a prisoner of the highway 

Prison by the freedom of the road.

I've run freight out of Wheeling, West Virgina 

And US Steel from Memphis 

I've rode tobacco out of the Carolina's 

California wines into Burmingham 

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 

Prison by the freedom of the road. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Got a wife living 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 

Prison by the freedom of the road...
