Highway Junkie Lyrics by Chris Knight
Chris Knight Lyrics
A hundred cups of coffee, five hundred cigarettes
A thousand miles of highway and I ain’t forgot her yet
But I keep on movin’, I keep movin on down the line
Ain’t nothin in my rear view just a cloud of dust and smoke
What do you expect when some old trucker’s heart gets broke
Yeah old truckers’ hearts get broke
Chorus:
Those big wheels of rubber gonna rub her off-a my mind
I’m a highway junkie I need that old white line
Ten miles out Nashville doin bout 91
State boy pulled me over said where’s the fire son
He said where’s the fire son
I said there ain’t no fire I’m just runnin from a flame
Go on and write your ticket but I ain’t the one to blame
That county judge tried to rob me blind
Chorus
So I rolled on into Memphis, I got nothin left to lose
Wanted to hear some rock ‘n roll but all they played was blues
Didn’t want to hear no blues
So I tried to call up Elvis but Roger Miller grabbed the phone
He said “Drive them eighteen wheelers, boy, you’re the king of the roadâ€
You’re the king of the road
Chorus
