Down The Highway lyrics

My child arrived just the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way,
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay,
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking 'fore I knew it and as he grew
He'd say I'm gonna be like you, Dad
You know I'm gonna be like you

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon

I drive a broke-down rig on may-pop tires 40 foot of overload
Lotta people say that I'm crazy because I don't know how to take it slow
I got a broomstick on the throttle, I gotta rope it up and head right down
Non-stop back to Dallas poppin' them west coast turnarounds

CHORUS
And they call me Speedball, Speedball Tucker,
terror of the highway and all them other truckers

Which way are you goin'?

Which side will you be on?

Will you stand and watch while,

All the seeds of hate are sewn?

Will you stand with those who say
Let his will be done?

chorus

One hand on the Bible

And one hand on the gun.

One hand on the Bible

And one hand on the gun.

Which way are you lookin'?

Is it hard to see?

Do you say what's wrong for him
