There`s a cold wind from Alberta
that carries me on down,
From Greenbay to the Port shore
this rig is homeward bound.
Nothings gonna stop me
from that boy of mine,
It`s pedal to the metal
and ridin that red line.
(Chorus)
Forty tons of iron
Sixteen hours to go,
18 wheels to take me
to the one that I love so.
I know he`s waiting for me
and looking mighty fine,
It`s pedal to the metal
and riding that red line.
Springfield to St. Louie
just said goodbye to me,
I`m southbound like a nighbird
on the wing and sailing free.
The morning light will bring him
I can see him in the view,
My hauling days are over
this run is nearly through.
(Chorus 2x)
The queen of my destiny
riding on the wind
I`m heading home again.
