18 Wheels rolling Sure, make a lonely sound You're wishing those lights ahead Were the lights of your hometown One last run and I can't wait To lay there by your side It ain't easy Lord, it ain't easy When I'm hundred miles from nowhere With a hundred more to go Rain's pouring down And I can barely see the road Nothing but those white lines Staring back at me It ain't easy Lord, it ain't easy But if I take sixty-five I'll be in Birmingham by tonight New Orleans by Sunday I'll be holding her tight But come Monday morning I'll be saying goodbye It's a damn hard life But it's my life One more cup of coffee To catch my second wind Top off the tank Check the tires Hit the road again Nothing but my radio To keep me company It ain't easy Lord, it ain't easy But if I take sixty-five I'll be in Birmingham by tonight New Orleans by Sunday I'll be holding her tight But come Monday morning I'll be saying goodbye It's a damn hard life But it's my life But come Monday morning I'll be saying goodbye It's a damn hard life But it's my life Lord it ain't easy It's my life
