[Verse 1]
Alarm at four
Truck stop coffee
Burnt and strong
Same old cap
Same old miles
Rolling on
Dispatcher rings
Says "You’re late" from his chair
I been waiting six damn hours
On a dock that ain’t even there
[Chorus]
I’m over the road and over it
But I still love this crazy trip (oh yeah)
From dirt-lot nights to mountain climbs
Brokers counting every dime
I’m over the road and over it
But this wheel’s got me hooked again
You can rob me blind and waste my time
I’ll still chase that yellow line
[Verse 2]
They cut my rate
Smile sweet through gritted teeth
“I’ll make it up next load”
Yeah
You lying through them all
I see
Paperwork wrong
But they swear it’s all my fault
I fix your mess in a parking lot
Eating cold fries by the vault
[Chorus]
I’m over the road and over it
But I still love this crazy trip (hey!)
From dirt-lot nights to mountain climbs
Brokers counting every dime
I’m over the road and over it
But this wheel’s got me hooked again
You can rob me blind and waste my time
I’ll still chase that yellow line
[Bridge]
[Band drops to bass
Snaps
And claps]
Every scale house stare
Every “little lady
Can you back that there?”
Watch me slide it in straight
While they stand and calculate
I curse
Then I grin
Another state line
I’m gone again
This cab
My crown
I run this town to town
[Chorus]
I’m over the road and over it
But I still love this crazy trip (still do, still do)
From dirt-lot nights to mountain climbs
Brokers counting every dime
I’m over the road and over it
But this wheel’s got me hooked again (hooked again)
You can rob me blind and waste my time
I’ll still chase that yellow line
Yeah
I’ll chase that yellow line (oh yeah)
I’ll keep chasing that yellow line
