Travelin' down the interstate
I've seen a lot of things
I've seen the hills turn into fields

And the rivers turn to streams
A lot of space from here to there
And everywhere you go

There's an 18-wheeler makin' time
On it's way back home


Hear that engine whine
Lord, I'm makin' time


A lot of stops along the way
So many country towns
I found a stretch of backwoods

Where a man could settle down
I've seen the tall pines reach the sky
And cactus way out west

But an 18-wheeler makin' time
Is what I love the best
