[Verse 1]
Morning on the dock
Steel in the gray
I hook up my gloves
And roll on away
Flatbed kissing miles
One lane at a time
Coffee in a paper cup
And a full day in my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
I tug each strap down tight
Feel that buckle bite
Load don't move tonight
When I do it right
[Chorus]
Straps on the flatbed
Chains hold strong
Highway keeps calling
All night long
Straps on the flatbed
I roll on through
If the road gets heavy
I can carry you
[Verse 2]
Rain on the windshield
Mud on my boots
Tarps folded tidy
Like old parachutes
Bump at the corner
Lean at the bend
I check every latch again
Then I check it once again
[Pre-Chorus]
I tug each strap down tight
Feel that buckle bite
Load don't move tonight
When I do it right
[Chorus]
Straps on the flatbed
Chains hold strong
Highway keeps calling
All night long
Straps on the flatbed
I roll on through
If the road gets heavy
I can carry you
[Bridge]
Sun coming up
Over busted red clay
Another long haul
And I like it that way
Hands on the wheel
Heart set free
With a little more road
And a little more me
[Chorus]
Straps on the flatbed
Chains hold strong
Highway keeps calling
All night long
Straps on the flatbed
I roll on through
If the road gets heavy
I can carry you
