The sun has opened up my eyes And I don't wanna leave your side For that lonesome road but here I go Climbing back behind the wheel Of fifty feet of chrome and steel And a load they need in Chicago
Through the middle of the night unknown I'm on a ride that won't let me go
I'm an asphalt cowboy Born to run underneath the stars Pay no mind to my lonely heart Just ride, ride Until I'm back in your arms again I'll be out here on the wind
Sometimes late at night I see your picture by the dashboard light And it takes me where I'd like to be Wrapped up in a blanket there Pulling ribbons from your hair And your kiss, girl, that's what I miss
Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow This high-speed rodeo is all I know
And I'm an asphalt cowboy Born to run underneath the stars Pay no mind to my lonely heart Just ride, ride Until I'm back in your arms again I'll be out here on the wind
And I'll ride Until I'm back in your arms again I'll be out here on the wind
And I'll ride (Asphalt cowboy) Through the middle of the night unknown On a ride that won't let me go (Asphalt cowboy)
