Verse 1
I’ve been Movin’ On since the break of dawn,
Got that White Line Fever rollin’ strong.
Six Days on the Road and my coffee’s gone cold,
Just a Truck Drivin’ Son-of-a-Gun out growin’ old.
Roll On Big Mama plays on my radio real loud,
A Truck Stop Cutie waves from the crowd.
But I’m Lookin’ at the World Through a Windshield so blue,
Missin’ home and that sweet girl I once knew.
⸻
Chorus 1
So East Bound and Down I ride through the night,
Through Wolf Creek Pass in the pale moonlight.
This Phantom 309 haunts my chrome and steel,
But Giddy-Up Go, I’m still behind the wheel.
I’ve got Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses to show,
When I make it home to the one I know.
⸻
Verse 2
Hit Wolf Creek Pass with the snow fallin’ deep,
The CB’s dead and the world’s asleep.
I hear Teddy Bear on the radio cry,
And I whisper, “Hang on, son, we truckers don’t die.”
Give Me Forty Acres if I miss that turn,
These Dangerous Curves still make my tires burn.
I’m a Diesel Smoke drifter with a lonesome tone,
Big Wheels Rollin’ toward that porch light glowin’.
⸻
Chorus 2
So East Bound and Down I roll through the storm,
Dreamin’ of a bed and her arms so warm.
The snow may fall, but my heart won’t freeze,
I’ll keep on truckin’ through memories.
⸻
Verse 3
Now the Long Lonesome Road is almost done,
And Mama Knows the Highway I’ve run.
The Truck Drivin’ Man is comin’ home to stay,
No more Convoy—I’m done with that way.
She’ll open the door with her softest smile,
Been gone too long, but I’ll rest awhile.
Just me and my girl, no roads to roam,
This diesel cowboy’s finally home.
⸻
Chorus
Now it’s Midnight Freightline and the road’s grown cold,
Chrome Dreams and Diesel Smoke worth more than gold.
I’ve been Haulin’ My Heart Back Home all night,
Where love burns steady in the truck-stop light.
No more Convoy, no miles to roam,
This diesel cowboy’s finally home.
