[Verse 1]
Triaxle headed down the road
Six tires singing, heavy load
Floating gears, I let it glide
Chrome nose pointed, Texas wide
Jake brake talking on the grade
Diesel drum in a rolling haze
Hands on the wheel, eyes on the lane
Miles stack up, I’m in my vein
[Pre-Chorus]
Watch me roll, watch me roll
Let the midnight feed the soul
Hear that climb, hold that line
One more shift and I’m alive
[Chorus]
Floating gears, floating gears
(Oh-oh) let it ride, let it ride
Jake brake, Jake brake
(Oh-oh) keep the night alive
Triaxle rolling, triaxle rolling
(yeah, yeah) down the road, down the road
Floating gears, floating gears
(Oh-oh) and I won’t let go
[Verse 2]
Mud on the mudflaps, rain on glass
Rest stop gone by fast, fast
Radio low, but the cab still sings
Every exit point to bigger things
Ain’t no pause when the grade gets steep
I keep that rhythm, clean and deep
Load stays steady, my heart stays brave
Hooked on the road like a tidal wave
[Pre-Chorus]
Watch me roll, watch me roll
Let the midnight feed the soul
Hear that climb, hold that line
One more shift and I’m alive
[Chorus]
Floating gears, floating gears
(Oh-oh) let it ride, let it ride
Jake brake, Jake brake
(Oh-oh) keep the night alive
Triaxle rolling, triaxle rolling
(yeah, yeah) down the road, down the road
Floating gears, floating gears
(Oh-oh) and I won’t let go
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Gear by gear, I rise
Brake lights flash, then vanish
One more hill, one more mile
Then the whole world answers
[Chorus]
Floating gears, floating gears
(Oh-oh) let it ride, let it ride
Jake brake, Jake brake
(Oh-oh) keep the night alive
Triaxle rolling, triaxle rolling
(yeah, yeah) down the road, down the road
Floating gears, floating gears
(Oh-oh) and I won’t let go
