I can see what's coming for me

By the way that it's bending the pines

Brother, me and these 18-wheels are gonna hammer on down the line

Flying like a bat out of hell

Tearing out of north alabama

Signs are saying "jesus saves"

But the devil don't give a damn.

Tryin' to keep all the rubber on 65

Might not make it out alive

White knuckling the wheel just to survive

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind.

Sometimes, what drives a man

Ain't nothing but a matter of will

When a man's got a heavy load

He just tryin' to make it over the hill

Burning the hours taking truck-stop showers

And sleeping in the cheap motels

Picking up speed on a mission to feed

Five kids with a cdl.

Tryin' to keep all the rubber on 65

Might not make it out alive

White knuckling the wheel just to survive

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind.

It's a fight in the dark of night with another hundred miles to run

When your mind starts tryin' to find ways to get you out from under the gun

This livin' ain't much of a life

But it's the only thing I know how to do

I miss you, honey

But I gotta make some money

So, I'm hoping I can make it through.

Tryin' to keep all the rubber on 65

Might not make it out alive

White knuckling the wheel just to survive

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind.

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind.
