Man On the Run

Listen to the whistle of the diesel whine
Climbing up the rocky mountain side
Gotta drop this load off by the morning

I got a workin' mans PHD
Shifting gears, double clutchin'
A three seven nine Pete
Put the pedal down
Keep these big wheels rollin'

Midnight white line
Looking for the morning light

A man on the run
Always on the go
It ain't the easy life
But it's the one I know
Every mile, another dollar
Keeps my family fed
Gonna push this rig to another town
Can't hold me back or slow me down

Picked a reefer up in Baltimore
Drove three thousand miles
To the California shore
Then turned around
To do it all over again

Broke down one night outside Moosejaw
Turned a wrench
Got her runnin' in no time at all
Still made up time
Going against the wind

Midnight white line
Looking for the morning light
Getting on down the road

A man on the run
Always on the go
It ain't the easy life
But it's the one I know
Every mile, another dollar
Keeps my family fed
Gonna push this rig to another town
Can't hold me back or slow me down
