Brothers of the Highway

[Verse 1]
Diamonds on the windshield
As heaven starts to cry
In his rearview mirror
His angel waves goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
She knows he's got to go
She knows he's one of them

[Chorus]
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes blowing out again
Sailing towards that setting sun, freedom's their best friend
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind

[Verse 2]
He puts the pedal to the metal
Trying to outrun the rain
Another shot of truck stop coffee
Goes running through his veins

[Pre-Chorus 2]
This world turns on eighteen wheels
Thank god we can depend on

[Chorus]
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes blowing out again
Sailing towards that setting sun, freedom's their best friend
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind

[Bridge]
Carolina west to Denver, Baton Rouge east to Pittsburgh
Portland south to San Diego, sail on, sail on
Tallahassee north to Boston, up to Bangor, west to Austin
Coast to coast, sea to sea, sail on, sail on

[Chorus]
You brothers of the highway, children of the wind
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes blowing out again
Sailing towards that setting sun, freedom's their best friend
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind

[Outro]
God bless you brothers of the highway, children of the wind
