Lyrics
Eighteen wheels driving hard tonight
Sundogs setting in the Kansas sky
Left KC at quarter to five
Pushing this rig, keeping things tight
It'll be five hours til I get to you
GPS says twelve-twenty-two
Thank you God, I'll be getting there soon
Ain't no guessing what we're going to do
(Chorus)
Drivin' hard tonight
Highway's been a little lonely
Driving Hard Tonight
Got my woman waiting for me
Drivin' hard tonight
To get to you, you, you
Cruising I-70 doing eighty-five
Last mile marker said I'm making good time
Pushing this rig right down the road
Driving desire to take me on home
Gas pedal buried, got a grip on the wheel
I'm holding back 40 tons of steel
Been ten days that I've been away
Be ready baby, I'm coming your way
(Instrumental)
(repeat Chorus)
