Get up in the morning and I fire it up
Pour myself some coffee in that same old coffee cup
Listen to the engines moan as I watch the RPMs
Sometimes it seems that this road never ends

Don't know what it is, my baby, that keeps you hanging on
Cuz most of our lives I've been gone
Dreamt of the days that I spend it all with you and the kids
It's been so long

I'll be in Georgia, baby, by the time you get up
Another worn out day in that big old truck
Road is my life
Hope you understand
You are my wife and I'm a traveling man

Don't know what it is, my baby, that keeps you hanging on
Cuz most of our lives I've been gone
Dreamt of the days that I spend it all with you and the kids
It's been so long

Don't know what it is, my baby, that keeps you hanging on
Cuz most of our lives I've been gone
Dreamt of the days that I spend it all with you and the kids
It's been so long

Don't know what it is, my baby, that keeps you hanging on
Cuz most of our lives I've been gone
Dreamt of the days that I spend it all with you and the kids
It's been so long
