[Verse 1]
Diesel powers, 18 wheels to rollin'
As I pull it on to the Interstate
I've got 13 hours to make my destination
And I don't want to stop to check my weight
There won't be no sleep for me tonight
No, I've got to be hittin' Tulsa by first morning light

[Chorus]
I'm a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road
Listen

[Verse 2]
I've run freight out of Wheeling, West Virginia
And US steel from Bethlehem
I've rode tobacco out of the Carolinas
And California wines into Birmingham
Some people work just to survive, yeah
But up here in this cab is when I'm most alive

[Chorus]
I'm a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah

[Bridge]
Got a wife living back in Tennessee
She tries to understand the way I feel
I could give my hands to another line of work
But my heart would always be behind the wheel

[Chorus]
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul (Tell 'em Ronnie)
I'm a prisoner of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road
We are prisoners of the highway
Driven on by our restless soul
Yeah, we are prisoners of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road
Don't you know I'm a prisoner of the highway (Woo)
Driven on by my restless soul (Yeah)
We are prisoners of the highway (Here we go)
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road

[Outro]
That's right
