Lyrics

VERSE
There’s a road that leads to nowhere
It always seems to start outside my front door
Been down that road so many times before
I’ve memorized all its scenery
Don’t want to see it anymore

There’s a load to haul in Memphis
Two days is just enough to roll to Santa Fe
That gives me one more place to drive
Instead of driving myself half crazy
‘Bout all the things I threw away

CHORUS
Sometimes it’s hell the way it feels
When there’s nothing left but eighteen wheels
To carry you through one more night
And there’s no exit sign in sight
Got someone waiting back in town
Who thinks someday I’ll settle down
He’s not a lot like me
Not unless he’s still in love

VERSE
She was as perfect as an angel
And I was stubborn as a Rocky Mountain grade
I thought my lucky streak was endless
Thought I had all the answers
Guess I thought I had it made

She was too good to take for granted
And I was too blind to see until it was too late
Now all that’s left for me to hold
Is a steering wheel and a gearshift
And a semi full of freight

CHORUS
Sometimes it’s hell the way it feels
When there’s nothing left but eighteen wheels
To carry you through one more night
And there’s no exit sign in sight
Got someone waiting back in town
Who thinks someday I’ll settle down
He’s not a lot like me
Not unless he’s still in love

VERSE
I tried a thousand times to tell him
That I’d turn this rig around and come on home to stay
Then I’d hear the call of the open road
Smell the diesel and the freedom
And I couldn’t break away

Maybe one day he will forgive me
I might wake up one day and change my rambling ways
But I can’t think about that now
I’m too busy going nowhere
To forget my yesterdays
