The sun has opened up my eyes And I don't wanna leave your side For that lonesome road but here I go Climbin' back behind the wheel Of fiffty feet of chrome and steels And a load they need in chicago Through the middle of the night unknown I'm on a ride that won't let me go I'm an asphalt cowboy Born to run underneath the stars Pay no mind to my lonely heart Just ride, ride, till I'm back in your arms again I'll be out here on the wind Sometimes late at night I see your picture by the dashboard light And it takes me where I'd like to be Wrapped up in a blanket there Pullin' ribbons from your hair and your kiss Girl, that's what I miss Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow This high-speed rodeo is all I know I'm an asphalt cowboy Born to run underneath the stars Pay no mind to my lonely heart Just ride, ride, till I'm back in your arms again I'll be out here on the wind And I'll ride, till I'm back in your arms again I'll be out here on the wind And I'll ride (asphalt cowboy) Through the middle of the night unknown On a ride that won't let me go (asphalt cowboy)
