I'm running down this highway
|
Don't remember where I slept last night
|
I just remember halfway through the night
|
I woke up stiff with fright
|
I dreamed there was no asphalt
|
I dreamed there was no gasoline
|
Felt like a rat caught in some nowhere town
|
I woke up and screamed
|
This highway
|
This highway
|
This highway
|
This highway
|
This highway
|
This highway's mine
|
|
I grew up on the dragstrip
|
I used to shut em down
|
I used to take their pinkslips
|
There's a sucker born in every town
|
I never showed no mercy
|
I blew them all away
|
They stood there and cursed me
|
As I towed their lives away
|
|
I used to run the cocaine
|
I used to run the weed
|
These days I'm just running
|
Tryin' to make this highway bleed
|
Sometimes the only difference 'tween me and this machine
|
Is I run on desperation
|
She runs on gasoline
|
|
I'm the Roadmaster
|
The Asphalt Blaster
|
Mess with me and I'll shut you down
|
The bad thing
|
The highway king and I've come to claim my kingdom now
|
