(Verse 1)
Gettin' in the big rig, I’m getting on down the road Hauling these heavy loads from East to West
Music up loud, hear the diesel engine moan
Shifting every gear, I’m on my way back home
Coffee hot and sweet, neon lights in my eyes
But the long empty highway couldn't cover up my pain I was once in the world, did what the flesh wanted to do Never thought twice, just the devil and a fool.
(Chorus)
Then I surrendered on the floor of this big truckLaid face down, hands up, felt my heart get stuckSurrendered it all, every mile and every sinAsked You Jesus, to come wash me clean withinNow it’s just me and Jesus, and Jesus is leading the way Filling up my truck, and saving my soul today.
(Verse 2)
Tryin' to lay my tired body down on that mattress padDemons attacking my mind, things were getting badI had enough of those spirits, unclean and untrue So I set my sights East, and I turned my life to You Heading eastbound on I-80, driving for the light Leaving the old me behind, vanishing into the night No more running, I’m letting go of the wheel Giving You the brokenness, for the peace that I feel.
(Bridge)
I’m handing You the logbook, I’m handing You the keys I’m dropping to my knees, Lord, won’t You come and fill me? Take the empty spaces, take the fear and the pain Come Holy Spirit, let em' all wash away , the stain I surrender, yes I surrender All my pride, all my wondering mind , I surrender.
(Chorus)
Then I surrendered on the floor of this big truck Laid face down, hands up, felt my heart get stuck Surrendered it all, every mile and every sin Asked You Jesus, to come wash me clean within Now it’s just me and Jesus, and Jesus is leading the way Filling up my truck, and saving my soul today.
(Outro)
Yeah, it’s me and Jesus...Worshipping with the music loud...Shifting every gear...And Jesus is leading the way. Eastbound & Down... now I'm finally free, thank you Jesus.
