Lyrics
The highway is my home, this old trucks my only friend
I'm searchin' for that white line
around that hairpin bend, I'm glad when I hear breaker
It's tough to be alone
I've a spiritual companion
The highway is my home
At night I drive beneath the stars
until the sun shines down
I'm always happy when I see, an old familiar town
Still I must keep rolling, yes I must press on
Grinding gears and smoking stacks
The highway is my home
Chorus
They say there is a parking place
where truckers search to find
A resting place, so peaceful
Where big wheels never whine
There are no curves or mountains
No big hills left to climb
All their wos and troubles
They leave them all behind
Chorus
Alternate Chorus (Tag)
The highway is my home, this old truck is my friend
I'll be lookin' for that white light
at my journeys end
I'll be glad to hear good job
I know I'm not alone
God is my companion
Heaven is my home
God is my companion
Heaven is my home
