The Road

[Verse 1]
There's a thousand miles and eighteen hours
I got to double drive down southbound 35
I got the hammer down, Detroit made
525 pushin' my ass right down that line

[Chorus]
And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel
Just tells me that I'm back out on the road

[Verse 2]
I got a full grown creepin' up on my tail
And I won't make bail in this small time jail, no, not 'round here
I got the bird dog on, radio cranked
Gear jammin', lane changin' son of a bitch, you bet ya, son

[Chorus]
And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel
Just tells me that I'm back out on the road

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Just left the jail with a hand full of pills
And I won't quit till I hit the coop in Abilene
I'm almost there there's just a few more miles
I'll make the drop and I'll turn and burn, I'm out o' here

[Chorus]
And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel
Just tells me that I'm back out on the road

[Outro]
And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel
Just tells me that I'm back out on the road
