LYRICS:
Spray a little ether in the breather
And hope she cranks
Pour a little Folgers from the thermos
And take a drink
Hard pack them Marlboro reds
Check the oil and the recap treads
Little Rock’n’roller on the radio
You’re gonna miss your boys
but it’s time to go

Put eighteen hours on eighteen wheels
With little white pills nippin’ at your heels
Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind
Ridin’ high till you run out
It’s an uphill battle just gearin’ down
Try’n’a to get somewhere on a road that just don’t end
Racin’ time and losin’ miles you’ll never get back again

Little boy wishin’ he was fishin’ in his dreams
Never got to know you too good,
Now he says things he don’t mean
Ya couldn’t make a good thing last
Always had to go so fast
But age caught up, slowed you down
And the days, they just fly by now

Like eighteen hours on eighteen wheels
With little white pills nippin’ at your heels
Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind
Ridin’ high till you run out
It’s an uphill battle just gearin’ down
Try’n’a to get somewhere on a road that just don’t end
Racin’ time and losin’ miles you’ll never get back again

Well this cat in the cradle never got a silver spoon
Now I run the roads just like you
There’s cities between her and me
and a real life
Man, I swear that it feels like

Eighteen hours on eighteen wheels
With little white pills nippin’ at my heels
Like some outlaw asphalt cowboy in the wind
Ridin’ high till I run out
It’s an uphill battle just gearin’ down
Try’n’a to get somewhere on a road that just don’t end
Racin’ time and losin’ miles I’ll never get back again

30 years of watching asphalt disappear under my feet. Not sure how much longer I’ll keep going. I miss the days you refer to in this song and they ain’t coming back. Hell, I’m too old for that anymore anyway. Great song and truly appreciate those of you in the music industry that take the time to acknowledge the sacrifices we make out here every day.

[BrandonLegate]

I just met your dad. We were hammering on it going across the WK Parkway talking on the CB. He told me about you and your brother so I had to check this song out. He sure is proud of y'all. Just thought you'd like to know. Great song!

[bradholstiene]

15 years of driving got a wife and 2 young ones at home this one hits hard. It's about rime someone like you made a true song about driving life

[paulyokley]

After 42 years out here on the road this song really hits hard. I thank you for such a great song. I thank God for giving you such great talent.

[samganci]

50 years of trucking my son sent me this song. Can't tell you how many times I had to load up and leave them little guys. Tore my heart out
to leave them. Thank you for this music.

[toddlively]

Love it brother these truckers out here don't get enough recognition these days. Thank you to everyone that gets up and drive for us every day

[b.a.sports]

It’s about time us truckers get some recognition! Thanks Elvie great song

[michaelgreen]

Damn Son! I can’t get enough of this song! Been on repeat for the last couple hours. Hell if a song!

[rockytop]

Yes sir! Got that seat sitting on the floor and lighting up a big Red! Getting right for the flight! Thanks for the song Elvie! I’m 3rd gen Truck driver my dad put in 63 years I’m on 27 years and being from East Tennessee love the video!

[annabellelunsford]

My baby drives otr flatbed, I miss him everyday. Nobody knows how hard the trucking life is just so people can have the simple things they take for granted. You dont know happiness until you hear those jakes around the corner and the air brakes pop when he comes home, or the sadness and pain when that engine starts back up to leave.

[faycollins]

My son and i cryed listening to this song his daddy was a trucker before he passed away when my son was 8 years old and daughter was 11 we miss him badly 😢

[toddvanahn]

Sometimes I swear these old trucks is all I’ve every really understood. They are a blessing and a curse to those of us who love and depend on the industry. I appreciate all the fellow drivers who commented. Evie definitely knows what being a trucker and a trucker’s son is like. Great song son, we all appreciate it.

[jpalmer]

20 years trucking 3rd gen in my family. I wouldn't change a thing but damn does this song hit. Sit back and think all that is given to this life and still is. Don't care how the world sees me just my family is all that matters. So I keep them wheels turning.

[Brother_Leroy]

Beautiful song. God bless our truckers who keep this world running. Thank you all!

[quintonpratt]

21 years out here and I’m a second generation driver. This song hits hard being a dad of 4 missin damn near every big moment so far in their lives. My dad passed in 14 after 32 yrs in this life from a heart attack and then being in Georgia when you get the call your moms goin home and miss her being awake by a hour because of a jam in Chattanooga. Thank you for a song that catches what this life cost and the miles missed.

[chrisdrake]

This is good music man! My Mom was so proud because you can write! You were one of her favorites. I told her what you said before she passed. Thank you

[CynthiaParris-nj]

Bless all the truckers 🙏♥️ My husband has drove many years.

[anthonyhousewright]

This is the only time I’m thankful for cell phones! Cell phones have ruined trucking and the generators to come. But they sure are nice when you can listen to this riding down the road! Thank you for thinking about us ole truck drivers! Much appreciated 👊

[ghostdriver]
