Daylight's rising across the plains This rig is streaking like a hellbound train I smuggle whiskey, I smuggle gin Where there's a need well I just truck on in
I'm a gambling man, son of a gun I'll take the risks now baby I'll make the run Wanna get home now, back in the saddle Ain't gonna drive this kinda grade A cattle
Daylight's rising across the plains This rig is streaking like a hellbound train Albuquerque now, New Mexico This .???.. one night show, yeah
(1) (And I'm) one step closer to the devil One step further from the law Lord I guess I'm just on borrowed time But I'm one step closer to the One step closer to the borderline
18 hours on this one long shift Wanna hear the sweet sound of my tailgate lift Lord I'm dying out on this road Wanna see my baby, help me unload
