There's a thousand miles and eighteen hours I've got a double drive down southbound 35

Got the hammer down, detroit made 525 pushing' my ass right down that line
Am C G D
And that smell of burin' diesel fuel just tells me that I'm back out on the road
D C G
I've got a full-grown creeping' up on my tail, no I won't make bail in this small town
jail no not
D
round here
D C G
I've got the bird dog on, radio cranked, gear jammin', lane changin' son of a bitch, you betcha
D
son

And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel just tells me that I'm back out on the road

Just left the jail with a handful of pills and I won't quit til I hit the coup in Abiline
D C G D
I'm almost there, there's just a few more miles, I'll make the drop, I'll turn and burn
I'm outta here
