Man On The Run Lyrics

Listen to the whistle of the diesel whine

Climbing up the rocky mountain side

Gotta drop this load off by the morning

I got a workin' mans PHD

Shifting gears, double clutchin'

A three seven nine Pete

Put the pedal down

Keep these big wheels rollin'

Midnight white line

Looking for the morning light

A man on the run

Always on the go

It ain't the easy life

But it's the one I know

Every mile, another dollar

Keeps my family fed

Gonna push this rig to another town

Can't hold me back or slow me down

Picked a reefer up in Baltimore

Drove three thousand miles

To the California shore

Then turned around

To do it all over again

Broke down one night outside Moosejaw

Turned a wrench

Got her runnin' in no time at all

Still made up time

Going against the wind

Midnight white line

Looking for the morning light

Getting on down the road

A man on the run

Always on the go

It ain't the easy life

But it's the one I know

Every mile, another dollar

Keeps my family fed

Gonna push this rig to another town

Can't hold me back or slow me down
