A hundred cups of coffee, five hundred cigarettes.
A thousand miles of highway, and I ain't forgot her yet,
G
But I keep on movin'.
D
I keep movin' down the line.
There ain't nothing in my mirror, just a cloud of dust and smoke.
G
What do you expect when some old trucker's heart gets broke?
D
Yeah, truckers hearts get broke.
A
But them big wheels of rubber gonna rub her off my mind,
G D
Well I'm a highway junkie, and I need that old white line.
D
Ten miles outta Nashville, I was doin' a hundred and one,
G
State boy pulled me over he said, "Where's the fire son?"
D
Said, where's the fire son?
I said, "Man there ain't no fire, I'm just runnin' from a flame,
G
So go on, write your ticket man, but I ain't the one to blame."

That county judge tried to rob me blind.

So I rolled on down to Memphis, I had nothing left to lose,

He said "Drop that 18 wheeler boy, you're the king of the road."
D
Said, I was the king of the road.
A
But them big wheels of rubber gonna rub her off my mind,

Well I'm a highway junkie and I need that old white line.
