"Ridin' This Road" lyrics

Through the long dark night, until the first daylight, I'll be ridin' this road
On the long highway I never stop or stay when I'm ridin' this road
I pray every minute I'm a-goin' through town
Don't want no inspectors come a-flaggin' me down
I've got a big overload; they'll really go to town
They catch me ridin' this road

My eyes are red; the border's up ahead; and I'm a-ridin' this road
I'd give the world for a blow at a roadhouse I know instead of ridin' this road
But I don't believe in ever pushin' my luck
I've got this far with an overloaded truck
The last thing I need is someone checkin' up
To catch me ridin' this road

Up the hill I grind, and down the other side; oh, I'm a-burnin' up this road
I'm as safe as a bank, I've got the mountains to thank while I'm a-ridin' this road
There's only one more waybridge, and, I tell ya straight
I'm loaded more than ten percent overweight
But if they wait for the dawn, they're gonna be too late
To catch me ridin' this road

There's only one more waybridge, and, I tell ya straight
I'm loaded more than ten percent overweight
But if they wait for the dawn, they're gonna be too late
To catch me ridin' this road
