Lyrics
LIVING FOR THE LONG HAUL
Living for the long haul
Mile after mile
Down the open road
Riding up high
I been drinking coffee thicker than mud
If I cut myself I wouldn't bleed blood
I got what I need in this little black bag
My jeans and my boots and my Peterbilt hat
Living for the long haul
Mile after mile
Down the open road, riding up high
Living for the long haul
Hands on the wheel
Working 18 tires, ten tons of steel
And I do my best to bring my load in on time
Through this big windshield, this world is mine
I got my diploma, that was Momma's dream
Then a good paycheck and a steady routine
I knew right away it wasn't for me
When the clock slowed down and the walls closed in
Living for the long haul
Mile after mile
Down the open road, riding up high
Living for the long haul
Hands on the wheel
Working 18 tires, ten tons of steel
And I do my best to bring my load in on time
Through this big windshield, this world is mine
Sunrise in Lafayette
Chicago before it sets
Daddy said, "Girl, settle down,"
Well, someday if I want to but not right now
Living for the long haul
Mile after mile
Love the open road, riding up high
Living for the long haul
Hands on the wheel
Pushing 18 tires, ten tons of steel
And I do my best to bring my load in on time
Through this big windshield, this world is mine
Through this big windshield,
this world is mine
