A hundred cups of coffee
Five hundred cigarettes
A thousand miles of highway and I ain't forgot her yet
But I'll keep on movin'
I keep movin' down the line
Ain't nothin' in my mirror
Just a cloud of dust and smoke
What do you expect when some old trucker's heart gets broke
Yeah trucker's hearts get broke
But them big wheels of rubber gonna rub her off of my mind
Well, I'm a highway junkie and I need that old white line
Ten miles out of Nashville I was doing a hundred and one
State boy pulled me over he said "where's the fire son"
Said "where's the fire son"
I said "man there ain't no fire, I'm just running from a flame,
So go on write your ticket man, but I ain't the one to blame,
That county judge tried to rob me blind"
But them big wheels of rubber gonna rub her off of my mind
Well, I'm a highway junkie and I need that old white line
So I rolled on down to Memphis
I had nothing left to lose
I wanted to some rock 'n roll, but all they played was blues
I didn't wanna hear no blues
So I went to call up Elvis but Roger Miller grabbed the phone
He said "drive that 18 wheeler boy, you're the king of the road"
Said I's the king of the road
But them big wheels of rubber gonna rub her off of my mind
Well, I'm a highway junkie and I need that old white line
Said, I'm a highway junkieman and I need that old white line
