Akins, Rhett - Drivin' My Life Away Lyrics






Well, the midnight headlights blind you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead, slow me down, making no time
But I gotta keep rolling
Those windshield wipers slapping out a tempo
Keeping perfect rhythm with the song on the radio
Yeah, I gotta keep rolling

Ooh, I'm driving my life away, looking for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm driving my life away, I'm looking for a sunny day

Well, the truck stop cutie coming on to me
Tried to talk me into a ride, said I wouldn't be sorry
Aw, but she was just a baby
Hey, waitress, pour me another cup of coffee
Pop it down, jack me up, shoot me out, flying down the highway
I'm looking for the morning

Ooh, I'm driving my life away, looking for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm driving my life away, I'm looking for a sunny day

Well, the midnight headlights blind you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead, slow me down, making no time
Yeah, I gotta keep rolling
Those windshield wipers slapping out a tempo
Keeping perfect rhythm with the song on the radio
Lord, I gotta keep rolling

Ooh, I'm driving my life away, looking for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm driving my life away, just looking for a sunny day
Ooh, I'm driving my life away, I'm looking for a sunny day
...

    19 years in the rocking chair shame the industry is going to shit

  98. G.... M....

    keep on truck en and doin't stop truck en 10 4 truckers

  99. J.... S....

    What truckers really need are stricter hours of operation regulations and mandatory 50 mile DOT check points to squeeze every last dollar and cent out of the trucking industry. That way we the people can be safe from this growing trucking menace.
