"Concrete Sailor" lyrics

500 miles of highway gone
500 more 'til I see home
Lord, it gets lonely sailing these highways
Jamming gears, toting freight
Sailing over these interstates
It's a tough way of life, but I chose it
I'll make my way

Sail on (sail on) concrete sailor
Sail on (sail on) concrete sailor
I look to feel the road beneath me
Yes, if the truth were known, I was born to be a concrete sailor

Had a woman to love me good, go sailin' with me when she could
But too many nights left alone was a strong temptation
She left like a summer breeze, said go where you want to, do what you please
I'm gonna find me a man, a man with a firm foundation

Sail on (sail on) concrete sailor
Sail on (sail on) concrete sailor
I look to feel the road beneath me
Yes, if the truth were known, I was born to be a concrete sailor

Café ladies in every port
Café looking for every song
Living off coffee, talking all night on the CB
Goodbye Dallas, hello St. Louis
Don't stop to thank me, just passin' through
You don't know my name, but your life would be changed without me

Sail on (sail on) concrete sailor
Sail on (sail on) concrete sailor
I look to feel the road beneath me
Yes, if the truth were known, I was born to be a concrete sailor
I was born to be a concrete sailor

Ooh-ooh-ooh, concrete sailor
Ooh-ooh-ooh
