Midland - Fourteen Gears Lyrics






Darlin' I still hear your name
Through the windshield wipers and the drivin' rain
I'll be 'cross the rocky mountains in the mornin'
And it's one too many lonely nights
When the highway comes to be the way of life
Seems like about the time I'm gettin' near I'm goin'

Hear that Peterbilt whine down the solid white line
Don't make no money if I don't make it there on time
Houston Dallas San Antone
Wind it up until I'm home
I've got fourteen gears to get you back in my arms

But if I know that you'll be waitin' there
Then you know that's a weight girl that I can bare
I can see your face in the headlights lonely glaze
With the big ol' moon steady on the rise
And the hammer down across the great divide
I'll be pushin' through till I'm back where I belong

Hear that Peterbilt whine down the solid white line
Don't make no money if I don't make it there on time
Houston Dallas San Antone wind it up until I'm home
I've got fourteen gears to get you back in my arms

To watch the sunset on the west Arizona sky
To feel the cool wind on a cold El Paso night

Hear that Peterbilt whine down the solid white line
Don't make no money if I don't make it there on time
Houston Dallas San Antone wind it up until I'm home
And I've got fourteen gears to get you back in my arms
I've got fourteen gears to get you back in my arms

I've got fourteen gears to get you back in my arms

  1. f.... ....

    i wish this was the version that went out on itunes

  2. G.... S....

    Dod dam these boys know how to sing some country music. I felt this song in my soul.

  3. L.... H....

    Ultimate video for this version of the song would pay tribute to Kathy Mattea’s 18 wheels and a dozen roses song have the song introduced by a radio dj and show him putting it on and have a driver in an old 359 or 379 Peterbilt turn the stereo up when the song starts and have the video follow the truck and show it stopping to get fuel unload and ending of the song as he pulls into the driveway of his home and a woman waiting on the porch for him

  4. P.... K....

    I know 3 of their songs. These cats are awesome.

  5. b.... ....

    Love that song🤩

  6. D.... T....

    Real talk, how did you get this version?

  7. K.... M....

    when i hear this song i feel like im out on the open desert highway driving that big ol peterbuilt smelling that diesel engine chugging along as the sun sets out on the horizon. music is supposed to take you on a journey and thats what the album version is missing. i get why they assumed it would have a wider appeal but that shouldnt be what music is about. it should be ones extension of their outlook on life and emotions. i really hope these guys dont lose sight of that and drown out the raw nature of their talents for the sake making another super polished industry friendly album.

  8. M.... Y....

    True country with early 80s sound. Gilleys and urban cowboy era still in the hearts of us all.

  9. M.... G....

  27. S.... G....

    Who would have thought a dude that spent some of his life in Compton Ca. Would be one of the good old country REAL COUNTRY revivers. Damn good country here boys and girls.
    The California country boy.

  28. V.... R....

    I used to make them sandwiches at thundercloud subs in south Austin back in the early 2000s lol

  29. D.... P....

    Midland is the only group that can save country music. Fight me.

  30. J.... ....

    this should of been on the new album

  31. M.... M....

    I've lived these lyrics many times, Love this song 🤔♥️

  32. J.... T....

    We should make a radio station that plays all of these new country songs that are actually...ya know...real country!

  33. d.... l....

    I love that twang jesus😻 this this is the country I like :3 fell in love with this song as soon as I heard it:3

  34. D.... C....

    Hey y’all, the album still kicks major ass! I actually like the howling towards the end of this masterpiece

  35. D.... C....

    God! These fucking masterful assholes made the best country song ever!!!!

  36. D.... C....

    If you count low gear on a thirteen speed. You have 14 gears. I think? Never ever used a low gear on a 13 speed. I don’t care!! This is my second most favorite song. Correction, reverse is a gear, which accumulates 14 gears.

  37. v.... ....

    That guitar strap though 👌🏻🇲🇽

  38. D.... C....

    These guys are my second most favorite next to Waylon Jennings.

  39. s.... ....

    Can't stop listening...so perfect...job well-done, boys

  40. M.... U....

    REPLACE THE PEICE OF CRAP THAT IS ON GOOGLE PLAY AND PUT THIS ONE !!!!

  41. S.... ....

    I feel like I should be running some beer across state lines or driving a Trans Am listening to this.

  42. J.... H....

    Unpopular opinion: I like the album version better 🤷‍♂️

  43. s.... f....

    This is totally better than the version on the new album. This is more authentic sounding.

  44. M.... T....

    The mexico flag on the guitar strap made me happy nice

  45. D.... B....

    From one trucker to another. Thank you.

  46. D.... B....

    Thank you for the Gary Stewart tribute! He and my daddy was friends in school and he was my grandparents neighbor. Ft Pierce FL checking in

  47. K.... C....

    Here that peterbilt wind I've listened to this song so many times headed home after 15 days on the road. Hitting that Illinois Wisconsin state line I knew I was almost home. Being an over the road trucker is a tough life, you never appreciate what you got until your away from home missing holidays providing for others who don't appreciate what you deliver to store shelves.

  48. R.... D....

    Just checked Apple Music and saw that this song was finally on there but this version wasn’t:/

  49. E.... H....

    Best version.
    The album version doesn’t sound right.

  50. T.... ....

    I recently learned from the band that this video was hacked and uploaded and the label has been trying to get it down for years.

  51. K.... W....

    I feel like I time warped into 70’s country music listening to them. It’s awesome. Keep em coming boys!

  52. T.... C....

    I'm surprised this hasn't been copyright striked yet. I should really download this for posterity.

  53. D.... M....

    Love it

  54. T.... H....

    How many moustache rides do you guys think he gives girls ?

  55. P.... W....

    When to Brothers are at a coffee shop some where on the west coast and one says wind it up and get it on that's not a drag race it is a 400 hundred mile race to get back home yes I like middland

  56. N.... S....

    Absolutely beautiful song, really hits home as a trucker out here doing this deal, just trying to make money and to get back home to the wife & daughter!

  57. R.... R....

    A Truckers ballad.😎

  58. B.... C....

    This is a top 3 song - should have stayed with this version on their latest album. .... But at least we still have it on YouTube.

  59. T.... B....

    Dang, dudes are good, sounds like traditional country, love it.

  60. G.... S....

    This song should be re-released using this version. Awesome song.

  61. b.... ....

    Panty dropper. 💯

  62. B.... ....

    I can just hear John Anderson singing this song.

    B.... ....

    It's Marty Robbins in my head.

  63. J.... W....

    It’s too bad this isn’t the version on the album this one gives you the feeling of being lonely on the road the one on the album is too upbeat taking the meaning of this song away

  64. S.... D....

    I got 14 gears to get you back in my aarrrmmms😞☺

  65. S.... ....

    Midland is as country as they get... they put the twang back in country music.

    Great sound.

  66. C.... M....

    I want to fuck his mustache

  67. T.... ....

    I don't know why but I picture a 359 with a Cat screaming across the mid-west.

  68. K.... ....

    Solid country gold

  69. K.... R....

    This is way better than the one on the album! I have wanted to get this song for months and I seen it on the new album and was let down to hear the other version. Come on boys i figured this would be a no brainer. Hopefully someone sees this and makes a change.

  70. K.... W....

    I'm a 18 year ol Pennsylvania boy, and I say bring back my ol mountain music 😭

  71. K.... S....

    Bitches don’t even know what a Peterbilt is..

  72. l.... ....

    Listenning to Midland's Fourteen Gears down here in Cancun Mexico, one of my favorite songs ... amazing band ... They put country music back on the radio!!! ... not that todays country music is bad, new artists sound good and different ... but Midland has that sound I always loved in country music!!!

  73. f.... f....

    They should remake black dog and have midland instead of Randy Travis in the remake

  74. A.... ....

    I'm not a country guy, but there's just something about this band I like a lot. Cheers 🍻

  75. o.... g....

    I more country version of the song dead flowers

  76. H.... W....

    GUILT by Dennis Callahan

  77. S.... Z....

    14gears no such transmission made it’s 10 or 13 and 18 and old 15 speed but no 14

    S.... Z....

    Shannon Zittlow 13 forward gears and 1 reverse

    S.... Z....

    No shit you are a genius.. I don't think that is the point lol

  78. J.... M....

    This version is so much better than the mainstream version recently released. I began listening to Midland bc they had that classic sound, but now they’re merging with modern styles...not a fan. Please no songs with hip hop lol

  79. G.... S....

    Keeping it country

  80. G.... S....

    So much classic sound with these guy's. 🤠

  81. E.... M....

    Hate that I can’t listen to this version on Spotify ☹️

  82. J.... A....

    Yessir!

  83. J.... Z....

    Can’t be mad... this is how they perform it live; so what’s wrong with them having a polished version on the album? I love both versions, I just wish there wasn’t so much criticism regarding the version they released on the album. Thanks guys.

  84. B.... G....

    I drive for a living an ive miss 5 birthdays and 3 Christmas dinners but we eat an dad's a real man, sorry man bun guys but your a plague of cubicle workers.

  85. N.... B....

    I really think this version should’ve been on the album, I love just how real it is not over produced and fuck me what a ripper moustache

  86. A.... S....

    Midland is so so underrated

    A.... S....

    I think it's ok. They hava quite fine fan base. On the other hand, those other trashes are actually overrated>

  87. C.... W....

    Mark...you are gorgeous. Love your voice. Shout out to the whole group. 5 stars.

  88. S.... J....

    I like both versions. This is a winding down I’m headed home from a long day version. And the other is more upbeat and gets me pretty excited.

  89. b.... s....

    Thanks to the voice I discovered this wonderful group.

  90. B.... ....

    love this song and this version...wish this one was on cd!!

  91. D.... L....

    That steel guitar tho!

  92. G.... M....

    14gears, honey I would meet you half way and I'm in Belfast 🇮🇹☘😍

  93. K.... ....

    I would pay extra for this version if it were to release.

  94. E.... M....

    I taught this was a brand new song🤔

  95. C.... S....

    THIS version should be on their new album

  96. L.... R....

    The new version is NOT this good. I love this one. The new one is so average.

  97. R.... B....

    This song makes my soul burn with passion. The best truckin' song of all time? Just might be but ive only listened to it once so stay tuned for an update.......................Yall rock, Midland!

  98. J.... N....

    This is one of the best country music songs written & performed in the past 30 years

  99. M.... J....

    This song rules
