He's pulling out for Reno
He hopes a tire don't blow
Up near Albuquerque

He'll fuel and get some coffee
Cline's Corners truck stop
A waitress with a wet mop

Telling him to don't walk
He tips his hat and don't talk


He knows it's nothing but a good ride
No there's nothing there he can't slide
No there's nothing that he won't spin

No there's nothing to it do it again
No it's nothing but the big show
No there's nowhere that he won't go

No he never has to ask why
He knows it's nothing but a good ride


He says there's something about a sunrise
Waking up sleepy eyed
He says there's something about a highway

Telling him he can't stay
He says there's something about a long drive
That gives him some peace of mind

And there's something that he can't take
When he's coming in second place


He knows it's nothing but a good ride
No there's nothing there he can't slide
No there's nothing that he won't spin

No there's nothing to it do it again
No it's nothing but the big show
No there's nowhere that he won't go

No he never has to ask why
He knows it's nothing but a good ride


And when it's all over
He'll move a little slower
He'll back up to the trailer

And look toward Oklahoma
He'll pull out right through the middle of town
And watch the sun start sinking down

Still just lighting up the road signs
Getting ready for the next time.


He knows it's nothing but a good ride
No there's nothing there he can't slide
No there's nothing that he won't spin

No there's nothing to it do it again
No it's nothing but the big show
No there's nowhere that he won't go

No he never has to ask why
He knows it's nothing but a good ride
