The King Of The Open Road

 

The King Of The Open Road

To be the king of the open road

You need fifteen liters to haul the load

An eighteen-speed to shift through gears

And eighteen wheels to roll through the years

You gotta pull sixty tons or more

With six reverse gears to back through the door

Yeah, it sure feels good when you hit the gas

Watching all the smaller rigs you pass

Oh, to reign supreme on the interstate

You need a big-rig setup that can carry the weight

Cruising on high with the auto-brake on

Rolling through the night till the break of dawn

Two bunk beds in the back to sleep

A variable turbo that growls real deep

Predictive cruise to watch the line

Just a couple more tricks to make her shine

An auxiliary sleeper heater blowing nice and high

UV-tinted glass to block the sun from your eye

Keep cool inside while the asphalt burns

Taking every single one of those heavy-duty turns

Oh, to reign supreme on the interstate

You need a big-rig setup that can carry the weight

Cruising on high with the auto-brake on

Rolling through the night till the break of dawn

Now, the true royalty out on the street

Won't brag about the power beneath their seat

They keep it real quiet, humble and low

Never gotta preach what the highway knows

Yeah, the Highway King...

Just let that engine sing.
