I can see what's comin' for me
by the way that it's bendin' the pines
Brother, me and these 18-wheels
are gonna hammer on down the line
Flyin' like a bat out of hell, tearin' out of North Alabama
Signs are sayin' "Jesus Saves"
but the devil don't give a damn

Tryin' to keep all the rubber on '65
Might not make it out alive
White knucklin' the wheel just to survive
Caught in the crosswind
Caught in the crosswind
Caught in the crosswind
Caught in the crosswind

Sometimes, what drives a man
ain't nothin' but a matter of will
When a man's got a heavy load
he just tryin' to make it over thе hill
Burnin' the hours taking truck-stop showers
and sleepin' in the chеap motels
Pickin' up speed on a mission to feed five kids with a CDL

Tryin' to keep all the rubber on '65
Might not make it out alive
White knuckling the wheel just to survive
Caught in the crosswind
Caught in the crosswind
Caught in the crosswind
Caught in the crosswind

It's a fight in the dark of night
with another hundred miles to run
When your mind starts tryin' to find ways
to get you out from under the gun
This livin' ain't much of a life
but it's the only thing I know how to do
I miss you, honey, but I gotta make some money
So, I'm hopin' I can make it through

Tryin' to keep all the rubber on '65
Might not make it out alive
White knuckling the wheel just to survive
Caught in the crosswind
Caught in the crosswind
Caught in the crosswind
Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind
Caught in the crosswind
