Ely Joe - Lord Of The Highway lyrics

With your fan belt slippin' and your bare tires squealin' Every time you hit the road you think you're rich You're lord of the highway but the way you been drivin' Sends them hitch-hikers divin' for the ditch Well the law's on your trail and there's another law to lead you And yet another law to let you down And the laws of the game they're the very same that freed you The lord of the highway gets around You weren't the only one who saw the dark days a-comin' And you weren't the only one who shut 'em out It was nothin' like your pride, it was somethin' deep inside That saw the shimmer, felt the shake and heard the Shout So lay it on thick if you lay it on at all If you're gonna do the job, do it right If you gotta hit the road, leave your burdens behind you The lord of the highway travels light With your air cleaner hissin' and your radiator steamin' And the sun burnin' bugs to the gla** You're lord of the highway ,you're livin', you're not dreamin' And if time really wants to, let it pa** You'll be miles down the road when the toll bridge is burnin' And your mirrors face forward at last You got what it takes to be lord of the highway The lord of the highway travels fast
